Only that day dawns
to which we are awake.

Henry David Thoreau

 
The unrest you are experiencing is not individual psychological difficulty,
but rather part of a widespread spiritual awakening.

Carol Osborn

   

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

J.M. Power

   

Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present.
Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made.

Bill Watterson 

   

I've continued to
recognize the power
individuals have to
change virtually
anything and everything
in their lives in
an instant. I've learned
that the resources we
need to turn our dreams
into reality are within
us, merely waiting for
the day when we decide
to wake up and claim
our birthright.

Anthony Robbins

    

The real work that brings about awakening, rather than merely granting
the external appearance of “being spiritual,” while actually embroiling
us ever more deeply in the dream, is a rigorous, daily commitment to
the identification and elimination  of every self-serving belief
from which our personal dream-lives are constructed.

Vincent Casspriano, Jr.

   

   

Softly and kindly remind yourself, ''I cannot own anything.''  It is a valuable thought to keep
in mind as you struggle to improve your financial picture, worry about investments, and
plan how to acquire more and more.  It is a universal principle which you are part of.  You
must release everything when you truly awaken.  Are you letting your life go by in
frustration and worry over not having enough?  If so, relax and remember that you only
get what you have for a short period of time.  When you awaken you will see
the folly of being attached to anything.

Wayne Dyer

   
   

There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of
themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.

Brooke Medicine Eagle

   
Right now, this very moment, you are asleep . . . Even if you are reading these
words in broad daylight – sitting at your desk or beside the kitchen table, your
feet firmly planted on the floor, eyes open, senses alert, feeling the weight of this
book in your hands as sounds of life rise and fall rhythmically around you – 
you are deeply asleep, and dreaming furiously.

Vincent Casspriano, Jr.

   

The years that are gone seem like dreams--if one might go on sleeping and
dreaming—but to wake up and find—oh! Well! Perhaps it is better to wake
up after all. Even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one’s life.

Kate Chopin

   

The majority of people are not awake; it is only here and there that we find
one even partially awake. Practically all of us, as a result, are living lives that
are unworthy almost the name of lives, compared to those we might be living,
and that lie within our easy grasp.  While it is true that each life is in and of
Divine Being, hence always one with it, in order that this great fact bear fruit
in individual lives, each one must be conscious of it; he or she must know it
in thought, and then live continually in this consciousness.

Ralph Waldo Trine

   
   

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake.

Henry David Thoreau

  

Whatever noble aims we may have, paths we may be on, or necessary efforts
we may make, our only real freedom is to awaken now, this very instant, to
the mystery and miracle of being, to the spacious awareness that we are.
It is only this immediate awakening to the deepest levels of ourselves, to the
conscious source that connects us all, that will enable us to experience and
manifest real harmony, intelligence, kindness, love, and compassion in our
lives and bring about the transformation in the world that we all wish for.

Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength.  When it comes to
understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might
as well be asleep.  If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up.  Wake
up to your own strength.  Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny.
Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.

Keith Ellis

   

Most people, even though they don’t know it, are asleep.  They’re born asleep,
they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep,
they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand
the loveliness and the beauty of this thing we call human existence.

Anthony de Mello

   

People live in sleep, do everything in sleep, and do not know they are asleep.

P. D. Ouspensky

   

Your life as it is happening is only half lived while half awake, lost in thoughts
of the future and neglecting your real and true life experience by failing to give
it the quality of attention that is warranted. You are never fully where your life is,
yet you cannot be anywhere else. This is a life of limbo, the in-between place
that does not exist, except in the space of your busy mind.

Aaron McNaught
Waking up to Life

   

   
Whenever someone awakens fully,
it affects human consciousness
at a collective level.
It is like dropping a stone
into a dark murky pond.
Ripples of light!
Not one word need be spoken.

Leonard Jacobsen

If you fully awaken
you will not know yourself.
Understand this,
and you understand all.
