All awakenings are both terrible and beautiful; You can only be awake to yourself when you are present to the sleeper; Metaphorically speaking, you can't sit at the table and eat if you haven't worked; You don't have your own life the way you think you do; As you work on yourself you will attract that which resists revelation (second force); Anything that talks to you about yourself is a lie; What is truly valuable doesn't appear in passing time.
