Life
being awake in this dream
that property in plants and animals which makes it possible to take in food, get energy, reproduce etc.; living things collectively; the time a person is alive; existence of the soul
Being aware of and grateful for the miraculous gift life is, we cannot but wake up to the possibility of living consciously, acting with compassion, being of service and making a difference. Being aware starts with being aware of the breath. Only in the present moment can we experience our true self. Being awake in the dream means clearly seeing the illusion of separation. It is the realization that we are the dreamer, the creator and the process.
Inquiry
What reminds me to be awake?
Intention
Observing my breath, I am immediately in the present moment and totally aware that I am alive. This present moment is the only reality I have: the past is gone and the future is not here yet. Now is all there is.
