Awakening to God-truth within
“Our, so called journey on the earth is only to awaken from the sleep of a personal self and to awaken to the realization of God as our reality. What we are inside is that pure impersonal consciousness, everlasting pure, harmony, oneness. My words are not religious words, they’re words from a call from God.”
— Mooji, The Call Within
The Sleep of the “Personal Self”
There is a quiet truth that spiritual maturity reveals: most of us live as if we are the limited story of “me” — our identity, our roles, our wounds, our reputation, our fears, or our achievements. We call this life, but Scripture calls it sleep.
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
— Ephesians 5:14
The “personal self” is the unconscious self — the part of us that believes its thoughts, defends its image, clings to control, and mistakes survival for purpose. In this sleep, we feel separate from God, others, and even our own soul.
But what Mooji names is what Christ revealed: what we are in truth is not this small self, but the life of God within us.
What Makes Us Spiritually Unconscious
We become spiritually unconscious when we:
• Live from ego instead of presence
• Confuse identity with role
• Remain trapped in past stories
• Seek worth through comparison
• Cling to control instead of trust
• React rather than respond
• Remain busy to avoid silence
• Listen only to thought instead of Spirit
These states are not “sins” as much as symptoms — signs we have fallen asleep to God’s indwelling life.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10
Awakening is not becoming something new — it is remembering what never stopped being true:
That “Christ in you is the hope of glory.”
(Colossians 1:27)
That “in Him we live and move and have our being.”
(Acts 17:28)
That we are not separate from the Source — we are the expression of it.
Spiritual awakening is not a destination; it is recognition. Not striving upward, but seeing clearly within.
The Invitation
We are not called to become more religious — we are called to become more aware. More inwardly awake. More attuned to Presence rather than personality. God has never been distant — only our attention has been.
Prayer
Father, awaken me from the sleep of separation. Where I cling to the small self, dissolve the illusion gently with Your light. Teach me to recognize You not as something I seek, but as the life already within me. May I live from presence, from stillness, from truth —not the story of “me,” but the reality of You living as me. Let my breathing itself become prayer, my awareness become worship, and my being become testimony.
Amen.
