fundamentally awake...


When you are fundamentally awake in the truth of life, you are substantially free of ego motivations, desires and reactions.

This is not to imply that one who is awake is somehow perfect. At times, you can react like anyone else, and experience fear and uncertainty, or feelings like hurt and anger, the difference is that now you know that you are caught temporarily in the illusion of separation.

You do not believe in the story that is presenting itself to you. You know that the past is somehow projecting itself into the present. You do not identify with emotional reactions. And yet, you take full responsibility for whatever is arising.

The experience is owned and accepted but not acted upon as if it is the truth.
