In any part of your day, try and sit or stand quietly somewhere with your eyes closed keeping your thoughts inward. Try and listen to your breaths or feel your heart beat... If you are unable to attempt so, you should understand what is bothering you. If nothing is bothering you, you should understand what you are feeling.
Is there something wrong with this picture?
Does it have colour? Does it have what we want to see? Does it need to be seen? Who composed this picture? Why does this picture look like our reflection? Do we really look like that?
The second step in any mode of waking up is to confirm that there is something wrong once shown something very well could be wrong.
Why can't you wake up? Any suggestions or observations?
What do you think is making you stay asleep? Are you being fed drugs or is your environment providing some sort of 'hand-cuffs' for your consciousness?
Do you know what drugs are? Drugs are any substance introduced to treat a diagnosis or prevent a disease.
Understand that though your world might be controlled by conditions, no one part is defunct of meaning when separated. If anything, conditions usually hide core reasons as to why something is or isn't as stated.
Drugs are then anything that exists physically. Would you like to consider 'thoughts' as a substance? "That which has mass and/or occupies space."
Actions have equations of mass. Does that mean it's still matter? An action, however described, is just as inert as the mass included in the equations used to underly an action. And if that seems off point, note to yourself that you cannot touch an action, pet an equation, or kiss a description. All of these are thoughts. Thoughts occupy the space between you and an action. An action may happen but it's not as valid as the thought of an action.
So you're obviously being drugged. The food you eat, the air you breathe, the thoughts you think. And your environment is your cage, every aspect of it a bar surrounding your soul's perimeter. But none of that is really keeping you asleep. You're keeping you asleep.
Nay. Your ignorance is keeping you asleep.
Why are you keeping you asleep? Because you don't know that there's something wrong with this place? Or is it the reason you can't feel anything when asked to take a moment and close your eyes and feel and be connected with yourself?
And that's just it. There is something wrong with this place. All the cogs spin at a precise pace but you know there's something sinister about that very pace. You can feel it. You've been shown it all your life. Your cognitive processes are filled with it and constantly being filled with it even now as you read this. It's in the cereal you eat, the weights you exercise with, the keyboard you share your feelings on, the air between you and the window you stare out of. You smile when you're told to. You behold the forced beauty it befalls upon you, all primmed and strategically placed to keep you dry and aesthetically bound to the very idea that hope is rare. But you are able to catch glimpses of what's really there. Something it cannot keep from you. The very something that makes it possible to wake up and once awake, this something in you can inspire the something in others. Hope then, is not a rarity but a gift.
Everything is false and nothing is true; all things are possible.
