Insight of Raw Presence • As the Automaton Awakens (SP001)
⁘ Created: 2026-02-14 ⁘ Updated: 2026-02-20
Our path of conscious evolution dawns with the first insight: Raw Presence. We snap out of our robotic tunnels into a realization of the finity of our lives, of the prison of illusions that conditions us. We yearn for a life in raw reality. We open ourselves to the truth of "what is". This is the first station — the stable foundation supporting our journey.
For a summary of the stations, see "Into the Path" (IP003) — "Eight Stations of Our Path • The Life-Cycle of Evolution".
Join in for a journey across the stations of the path. The path of conscious evolution, from bondage to freedom, from illusions to actuality. From the awakening of the automaton, a creature of habits shackled in its slumber, through the stages of development. Into the recognition, integration and fulfillment of the actuality of our being and becoming.
Our journey begins with the dawn of self-awareness in the automaton, bound by conditions. Jolted from the tunnel, no longer content simply going through the motions, we pause, we reflect — What am I, what is life, what is all of this? How finite I am, how fractured, how disharmonic. How dissatisfying, all of this — there must be more to life.
With this, with the honest acknowledgement of our condition, endowed with sincerity and humility, we are reborn into a life of actuality. For countless cycles of life, we have chased illusions, we have been driven by reactions. What if, just for once, all of our effort, all of our attention, were placed into the reality uncoated by our projections? What might be?
With this, we have established a baseline and we enter into a brave new world. A quest for "what is" — truth without distortions. With this first insight, the insight of raw presence, our evolution may proceed.
