Summary: “Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up” is a book by Dustin DiPerna that provides a framework for spiritual growth and awakening. The framework consists of four stages: waking up to the true nature of reality, growing up through various stages of consciousness, cleaning up and integrating all aspects of oneself, and showing up in service to the whole. DiPerna emphasizes the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the role individuals play in manifesting the unified force of their collective will. The book explores these concepts in detail and offers guidance for embodying them in daily life.
For many of us, it has become clear that the self-organizing force of Reality is clustering us together in unstoppable proportions. Synchronicity has become the drum-beat of our inter-generational coordination. We trust in the guidance of the Kosmos as each new step is revealed. And as hubris as it might sound, we know that as we manifest the unified force of our will together, we will bring a massive stream of goodness and healing to our Earth (View Highlight)
As the light of this new dawn breaks, we give thanks for the flourishing of each living stream of wisdom carried forward by the world’s great spiritual traditions. Through the distribution channels enabled by the Internet, new media, and social networking, these streams of truth are readily accessible to nearly all of humanity (View Highlight)
We pay homage to all of the great masters that have come before and know that the work that we are here to do is only possible through the humble recognition that we stand on the shoulders of giants. (View Highlight)
Within the context of Integral Theory, we speak about “waking up” as it relates to various state-stages of consciousness. As one awakens, one’s exclusive identification with gross, subtle, and causal layers of reality are dismantled. One moves beyond an exclusive identification with thought (gross), beyond an exclusive identification with personal identity (subtle), beyond an exclusive identification with the coming and going of time and space (causal), and even beyond an exclusive identification with individual consciousness (witness). With all the layers of obscuration removed, one can affirm what remains — the non-dual base of awareness; a base that naturally and spontaneously manifests as all relative form. (View Highlight)
