Higher Awareness
Ha Ha, This have brighten up my day. I think this is funny.
A perfect example of "Higher Awareness" - seeing vs not seeing.
Once upon a time, there lived a huge turtle. It took him 10 minutes to move his right front leg forward, another 10 minutes to move his left front leg, and 10 minute each for the two hind legs. In fact, it took a total of 40 minutes for him to move even an inch on the ground. One day, while wondering if there was an end to the sandy beach where he lived, he decided to undertake a world expedition. Starting straight ahead at the distant shore, he began to walk with all his might.
Taking 40 minutes to advance a very short distance, he began to measure up the shore line. Being rather intelligent turtle, he decided to leave his footprints along the beach so that he would know where he had already walked. In this way he was sure to avoid walking in the same place twice. But, no matter how far he walked, the shore seemed to stretch endlessly before him.
One sad day, the turtle finally exhausted his energy and died, believing that he must have conquered at least a half of the world. The following day, an island fisherman came by and dragged the turtle to the other side of the island and ate him for lunch.
Did the man take much time to get to the other side? Not at all. For the fisherman with his healthy stride it was only 10 minute walk. It turned out that the poor turtle was just going in circle around the small island without realizing that the indifferent waves of the Pacific were washing away his footprint. Poor Turtle :(
It's not the speed that is important.
It's not the principle that is important.
It's not the effort that is important.
It's not the result that is important.
"DID YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, THAT IS IMPORTANT!"
A perfect reflection of the human race.
Father,
I thank you for lifting my spirit with this wonderful story.
I really enjoy the story showing me the stupidity in us generated with our highly intelligent mind.
Funny. Love it.
Thanks - In Jesus name I pray, Amen

How can we achieve higher awareness? This is something that is very hard to be done, yet it is very easy. The one question that a person must always say is, "Stop. Look around. Wat is goin on?" This is a quesion many people tend to forget to do. Whne higher awareness is absent, people will fall into other's people trap, fall into their own trap, or even worse. The turtle in this story is a perfect example on how a person can be like if they want something too badly. All the attention, their work, and their soul is concentrated into that one thing. When this happens,everything around that person is shut down makin them vulnerable.
So, the one thing we must always ask ourselves is "Stop. Look around. Wat's goin on?"

Higher Awareness; some have it, some don't.
What's important is how to show people who don't have it, to go get it.
Now, that would lead to how well you, yourself understand it.
Can you answer the What, Where, When, Why and How? This will define it more in-depth of higher awareness?
Did your answer also include the Jesuit of life? Example, your answer is not final or a definite. (leave open for other possibility) Don't forget it takes the IQ and EQ to make it complete.
