Yes, thank you always for your clarity.

And a lack of awareness means a lack of awareness of our collective oneness.

A lack of awareness means a lack of access to the pure awareness that we are in essence.

Identifying with the voice in the head makes this “me” voice compulsive. This incessant personal narrative, like a torrential river, blocks awareness of awareness itself that is always here waiting to be felt/experienced.

This egoic condition distorts our perception of reality so that even the compassionate and well intentioned are operating largely out of the survival brain centers. Even the very ‘woke’ are blind to our tendencies to favor hierarchy, domination, submission, prejudice, competition, deception, expedience, in group vs out group behaviours etc. ( all useful short term crisis survival traits).

It is fitting that ‘woke’ is past tense, indicative of the ongoing reality distorting control of the ego. Distortion ends when we fully inhabit the only place there is....the Now.

Then woke becomes awake.
