When we find something real that nurtures us, we feel it. But what we feel is not ours. When we understand it, it becomes ours. That process requires a lot—we need a strong desire to be awake. But we don’t really want to be awake, because we’re “comfortable” being asleep. Being asleep means being in the house of thoughts and shuffling them around from one place to another. We imagine we feel secure there. At some point, that doesn’t satisfy us anymore. We begin to want to know what is real, how to recognize what is real, and how to bring that to our life, so we can live more consciously in the midst of the unconscious current of life on the Earth.
