Essential Point:
To Realize something is to become Aware of it.
Self-Realization is to become Self-Aware, which is to become Aware of yourself as Awareness.
Overview:
Realization is the way in which you come to remember who you truly are.
The Essence of Realizing something is to become Aware of it. And in the context of Self-Realization, which is the Essence of Enlightenment, it is to become Aware of yourself as Awareness.
The Self cannot be achieved or bought or even found, it is Realized. It is a Realization because it is already here, you simply don’t know it, so it becomes a matter of Awareness, a matter of Knowingness.
To Realize something that has always been is to imply the shifting of the Interpretation of your Perception so that you can “see” what you could not see before. This shift that enables Vision is the shift in Consciousness.
Thus, Realization is the moment in which your Consciousness shifts to reveal the True Nature of what you were previously ignorant of through the lack of Awareness. The Truth was always there, but you simply did not see it, and you did not see it because you could not see it, and you could not see it because you were not Aware.
This is why Enlightenment is a Realization and not a “Doing.” There is nothing to do, achieve, or acquire, all that is required is a shift in Awareness, which is a matter of getting out of your own way. And more specifically, getting out of your Mind.
It is worth noting that initial Realization is distinct from full Realization. The Awakening moment through which you step into Consciousness from Unconsciousness does not make you fully awakened, it is more simply the evidence of the growing Awareness in you that previously was stagnant.
Many people confuse a glimpse of Enlightenment with Enlightenment itself – It must be remembered that Awakening is a Journey and only in the fully Awakened state, which is the State of Pure Consciousness, is the Self fully Realized.
And lastly, if you ever claim to be Enlightened, you are not Enlightened, as such claim must be born of the Egoic Mind, for in the truly Enlightened State there is no “you” to be Enlightened.
