The awakened person can see what’s really going on. They see the fear beneath the confidence, the emptiness beneath the busyness. They see that most of what people fight about has nothing to do with what they think they are fighting about. When someone points at another group and says, “they’re the problem,” the awakened person sees it as a way of... See more

Every time you’re surrounded by people who are asleep, you have to work hard to maintain your own wakefulness. You must filter projections, hold your centre amid chaos, remain clear while others are foggy. This takes tremendous, invisible energy. And after a while, you realize you’re spending all your energy just staying conscious in environments... See more
