The Awakening (9)
ooby_dooby: Do you remember the moment you first realized you were alive? That you were actually a living being and not just a reaction to whatever was happening around you? What follows is a memory that is etched in my brain. I remember it like it just happened 10 minutes ago.
I'm walking down a path. I know my name. I know I am 4. It's warm out and everything is normal except suddenly I stop and see there are bushes to my left and flowers. I see the bushes. I can smell the flowers. Why did I never notice them before? I look down and see that I'm wearing shorts and a polo shirt and sneakers. I look up and see the blue sky. It's beautiful and there's a cloud and it's white. I look down and I see the grass and the grass is beautiful. The bushes are beautiful. The flowers are beautiful. I am warm and suddenly I am happy to be here. I don't know exactly where I am but I know for the first time that I am.
Until this moment I have been running on instinct and what I was told. It's like waking up from a long sleep. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm alive and a part of this beautiful world. I'm me and not an extension of my mother.
I suddenly realize that I exist.

That's possibly what has happenedI suddenly realize that I exist.
The 'I' that is you has woken up and is becoming centralised, just like all the other 'I's' on the planet.
But you dont remember your last 'I" although very rarely some do, that's well documented.
After all, you can't wake up if you haven't been to sleep and can't go to sleep if you weren't previously awake.
Just a little thing to ponder upon...
