Waking Up To What’s Actually Happening

Waking up to what is happening in the world is not enough. That isn’t actually waking up – it’s still the dream. We have to wake up to what’s happening in our mind that misdirects our reality of consciousness.

As long as we ignore our reactions, we will be forever ensnared by our cleverness. This misdirection is how evil works.

When we think we know what ‘they’ are doing and pontificate about it, we’re still involved, being captured by the show. We remain the audience, as the shadow projections in Plato’s cave.

Meditation is disengaging from this engagement. Dropping all our clever ideas is the way out – and the path to enlightenment.

Enlightenment can never be realised by thinking about it.
