Folks I would like to ask what your opinion of being awake is.

For me it is the ability to think for myself. While I have things I wish were true I am able to put that on a shelf and find things that are true. I think it is the will to put my wishes to the side and except what can be proven over what I personally wish to be true. It is a painful thing to do at times because there are some truths I just do not want to face, I think that is true of all of us but I know that until I can stand against what we face with truly open eyes I will always wonder if I fell asleep again and didn't even notice. There is one thing that I do not need proof for and never will need proof for and that is my God. He is a feeling more than truth. He is much more to me than what anything in this world can offer. He is my strength and direction. Share with me if you will what you believe it is to be awake. All replies welcome with no judgement.

God, country/family, then everything else. I will always bleed blue with a hint of green.

Being awake for me is giving/helping/loving unconditionally. I have already sworn my life to protect God, country/family, and as many innocents as possible. I have learned to expect nothing in return and by doing so, I can see and recognize the truth more clearly.

It is difficult to fully explain, but the more I truly give freely, the more truth is presented. The less I judge people, the more I see their actual truths. The more I give of myself for God, the more I see and feel God's gifts and presence... (this barely scratches the surface, but it is more than I can put into words.)

The more awake I become, the more truths I seek, the more help I see is needed and shown to me. Now I can't help anyone without God. I am stubborn, hard headed, difficult, and aggressive, that's just if I like you! Being awake is amazing and frustrating, full of truths and so many many lies, but in the end, it brings me closer to God with each and every new truth.

I really can't think of a more perfect way to explain it. You are dead on with everything. You have to look for truth to find it and once your have it looks to find you. Once it does it never stops giving you more light. If this is not divine I have no clue what is. The less we seek for ourselves the more we are given and what we are given is so much more than what we gave. This has never been about me but it has always been about us. Just amazing stuff here Rex, you almost brought a tear to my eye. That my fren is the power of truth.
