I see awakening as remembering to remember. My heart is open, I am an infinite being, the ground of consciousness that I am is expanded and perfect. If I could just remember this, all the time, then I would live in bliss. It’s this bouncing back and forth between ego reality and pure consciousness that is the challenge. If I could just remember to stay awakened I would just stay Awakened.

And if I could just remember to Just Play More Drums, I wouldn’t have to sink down, get bummed and worried and live with all the mental baloney that meets me when dealing with challenges of daily life. If I just remembered to remember, how blissful my state no matter these illusions of moments.
