Best. Post. Ever. I felt your passion reading this. My thoughts:

1. The awakening process can be very lonely.. especially when family/friends remain asleep.

2. I've noticed a pattern that many people experience a tragic event in their lives that causes the awakening process to begin. Something that turns their world upside down in an indescribable painful way. (Mine was like your cheating wife on loving husband story.. only reversed)

3. There are endless rabbit holes.. some without ends. But the journey to the truth is what matters.

4. Ben Franklin, my man.. "one must work hard to remain stupid" .. right?!?!

5. I believe the awareness of what power your ego fights to have over you is a sign of enlightenment and you are on the right awakening path!

6. I'm grateful for living in this moment in time.. to have this amazing way to connect with others like yourself who are on their own awakening path, yet have much in common with my own.. to ease the feeling of isolation.

7. I am not going crazy.. I am waking up! (I still have to tell myself that somedays) lol
