“Awakening is an equal opportunity employer. I have seen both spiritual and nonspiritual people wake up. I have seen logical, scientific, skeptical, intuitive, artistic, and emotional people wake up. I have seen people wake up who had a clear intention to do so and worked hard at it. I have seen people wake up who had no idea what was going on and for whom the process seemed to have begun spontaneously. What determines your qualification for awakening is nothing you believe, identify with, or do. What determines your qualification is one simple thing: you have a desire to open to the deepest truth of what you are. That’s it, nothing more.”
