“When
you’re ready to wake up, you’re going to wake up, and if you’re not
ready you’re going to stay pretending that you’re just a ‘poor little
me.’ And since you’re all here and engaged in this sort of inquiry and
listening to this sort of lecture, I assume you’re all in the process of
waking up. Or else you’re teasing yourselves with some kind of
flirtation with waking up which you’re not serious about. But I assume
that maybe you are not serious, but sincere – that you are ready to wake
up.
So
then, when you’re in the way of waking up, and finding out who you
really are, what you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place
you call here and now. You are something that the whole universe is
doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is
doing… The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the real,
deep down you is the whole universe.”
– Alan Watts
