Been away from forums for some years. Now housebound due to accident so much more time on my hands.
There are many views about what may lead to awakening, realization, liberation. Does anyone feel that it has been a resonance by the mind with a solution it has discovered during its search to solve the feeling of disconnection from source (or whatever label may be given to that without distinction or discrimination) that has lead to such.
Presumably it is the mind that conducts the search so would it be surprising if it was also something as complex as the mind that had the capacity to resonate (vibrate the frequency of the organism with the frequency of the solution it had found).
Try to leave aside for a moment that mind gets a very bad press in spritual circles and perhaps reflect on how your own mind works and its function concerning the spiriual search.

Try to leave aside for a moment that mind gets a very bad press in spritual circles and perhaps reflect on how your own mind works and its function concerning the spiriual search. This depends largely on our definitions of concepts like mind and consciousness. Normally, talk of overcoming, subduing or dissolving the mind refers to the left-hemispherical, analytical, abstracting mind or intellect (where the inner monologue resides.) Mind in this narrow sense is certainly something that can be seen as an impediment or obstruction. Yet in its broadest sense mind is much more than this. And although it is certainly the case that it is not the mind that awakens, mind (in this broad sense - call it big mind) is the mechanism VIA which awakening takes place. Awakening is a cognitive realignment of the reality of our situation - a kind of shift in perception. This doesn’t happen in some vague locus beyond the (big) mind. And destruction of the mind-brain-nervous system would surely annihilate any capacity for realisation or insight etc. (it wouldn’t annihilate THAT which is realised but it would remove any functioning knowing of THAT. To believe otherwise is an article of faith and essentially a supernatural and solipsistic idea.)

Long time no see. Sorry to hear of the misfortune.

Such a resonance may indeed occur, unfortunately it may not be seen as enough because the seeker expects the bliss promised by this or that spiritual path/practise so the resonance that is the awakening is passed over.
