Enlightenment: A Rude Awakening

A rude awakening:
the surprise of discovering that we are mistaken.

A rude awakening:
Reality isn’t what we think, and never has been.

Thinking in words limits experience.
To get what we want,
we think of consciousness as a tool of perception.

The ancients knew that we are that consciousness
– pure and simple.

The surprise and shock is that we never noticed this.
It’s even more shocking to note
that there are some who want us to remain dormant
– just like them.
