Hmmm, You are correct EpiphaMe. Recognition comes first, then I should have said 'choice'. The choice of whether one wishes to advance/expand past the programming. Most people choose to stay within the walls of the programming, where everyone else is, family, friends, society. It feels safe, but it is the 'trap'. The trap of lifetime after lifetime after lifetime!!! The waking up and the recognition of the programme, the grid, is the start. The choice to move or not is second and the spiritual journey is the quest should one make the descision to expand, to move, to evolve. This is when one's soul/spirit has an opportunity to kick in to whatever degree the seeker of spiritual wisdom allows it to .

The ego personality is still probably be quite strong at this point and the Great Self, (the Inner God) has only a small window of opportunity to influence the initiate. Initiate is what I would call the newly awakened person. This stage is where things start to manifest in surprising ways, certain books are likely to fall off shelves at your feet. You may meet someone who inspires you. Its different for everyone, but the point is that these are the beginning "tools" of change, of growth. Your soul/spirit will be alive and gleeful that its finally getting to maybe influence and progress this boring boring, same ol, same ol, person who has spent lifetimes asleep.

A great deal of patience is required because it does take time to outgrow and transcend all of that limiting programming. It soo damn deep that its part of your DNA. It really is being born again, to borrow a saying from the happy clappers. One really is newly born to a whole new reality where everything is different, and changing and keeping on changing is the norm.

The 'tools' are what your own spiritual 'Great Self" will manifest for you for you to evolve. And its all individual and geared for you personally.

There! Maybe that may be of some help

Love and Light
