SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

We can find ourselves in a process that has a life of its own, something that is going on no matter what we do otherwise. 

And indeed we do do all kinds of things otherwise, get an education, hold jobs of all sorts, have every type of social relationship, have a spouse and family even. 

But then suddenly we realize that there has been this undertow all our lives, this feeling, vague as it has been, that there is more to us somehow.  We awaken to the fact that despite ourselves we are that thing that has been going on in us all along, that we are in fact that undertow.
