Always about "waking up"

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

It's always about "waking up." All the spiritual literature and teachers say "wake up!" That will end your pain and suffering and once you've ended your pain and suffering then it is your endless and eternal duty to wake everyone else up. So why isn't everyone awake by NOW! How long has "NOW" been going on waiting for everyone to wake up? One would think that by "NOW" everyone would have awoken. Just how long does this take? Humanity has been at it for several thousand years and we've made pathetically little progress. It seems that we all must work very hard to realize that we don't need to work at all in order to obtain this "awoken" state. So how did "we" "forget" that "we" are already awake?

This would imply that there's a cycle of forgetting and waking up otherwise, once again, we would already have realized that we are awake by "NOW" and wouldn't be having these truly ENDLESS discussions about waking up. If I were to "wake up" I'm quite convinced that "someone" will simply take my place for there seems to be no end to those who aren't awake. So Spirit appears to be engaged in an endless circle jerk to which we are all obligated to participate. There is "No Exit". A job that you can never really finish because as soon as it is "finished" "someone" "somewhere" else f*s up and goes to sleep. For us to even be having a conversation about the process of "waking up" implies that there MUST be a complimentary process of "going to sleep" - of forgetting your "TRUE" nature.
