Courage Is The First Step To Realising Consciousness

The moment when we admit that we are not satisfied and are therefore suffering, we take our first step to the ultimate realisation of reality. If not, we remain in ignorance, believing only information that we receive from unenlightened beings.

This information that we cling to is the elephant-in-the-room, or the MacGuffin.

A MacGuffin sets and keeps the plot in a story, despite usually lacking intrinsic importance. It is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but is insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself. It is insignificant, so we don’t notice the elephant-in-the-room – an obvious major issue that people avoid discussing or acknowledging.

People avoid the question,
“What am I?”

We may ask, “What am I?”,
but at an intellectual level not at a practical level,
because this will change our lives forever.

Why we do not ask this question – truly?
It is fear of change.
