To actively participate in my life, I must be present – not just
any which way, but present with all of my senses, fully aware of myself as a
living breathing organism on the earth. Only when I AM engaged thus am I Living
outside of dream and illusion.
True BEING does not happen in the brain, I AM when my entire
organism is fully awakened and conscious.
“There is a quality of
wakefulness that has no fixation, ... It is egoless. We
could call this quality the genes of wakefulness, or genes of emptiness.
Wakefulness is not a game or a technique. It is clear and spacious, very basic
and ordinary, with no self-consciousness.”

For those with no teaching and no daily practice it is impossible to live this way. The illusion is easier and is always preferred.
