I woke up in my late 50s to understand that there was a lot more to consciousness than just mere awareness. Consciousness was a new world, or worlds, with all sorts of answers, especially to the big questions – like who are we and why are we here?

As it turned out my late 50s was a pretty good time to wake up because I had had time to experience the world happening to me as well as me happening to it. At that time my human clothing and the outer world I perceived was all I knew with the struggle for ‘success’ and the experience of winning and losing dominant factors in who I was and why I was here.

Awareness expanded into consciousness and consciousness, for me, meant that winning and losing were not enough and both were, in fact, irrelevant.
