The Art of Awakening

We believe we are awake, but we live asleep. We are so predictable that others can anticipate our reactions. We act like automatons in a repetitive play.

There is another way.

Typically, we focus on one of two screens: the external (what our senses perceive) or the internal (our thoughts and emotions). Awakening happens when we inhabit the space between them—a point of observation that allows us to see both clearly without being immersed in either.

Saint Francis of Assisi captured this concept well when he said we must "wear the world like a loose garment." Be present without being consumed. Participate without getting lost.

For this, we need to abandon two major blocks: fear and desire. They keep us in cycles, always fleeing or pursuing something, draining our creative energy.

From the center of presence, our actions flow naturally. We don't need to force them. Each response arises appropriate to the moment, born from awareness, not habit.

The choice is simple: be carried by the waves or learn to surf them. We can be observers and creators of our story, not just react to it.

True awakening is not avoiding challenges but navigating them with presence and lightness. It is choosing our life instead of just living it mechanically.

Choose your life, don't be hypnotized by events, maintain your center and your heart light, and learn to experience the beauty of existence.
