“When you’re ready to wake up, you’re going
to wake up, and if you’re not ready you’re going to stay pretending that
you’re just a ‘poor little me.’ And since you’re all here and engaged
in this sort of inquiry and listening to this sort of lecture, I assume
you’re all in the process of waking up. Or else you’re teasing
yourselves with some kind of flirtation with waking up which you’re not
serious about. But I assume that maybe you are not serious, but sincere –
that you are ready to wake up.
So then, when you’re in the way of waking up, and finding out who you
really are, what you do is what the whole universe is doing at the
place you call here and now. You are something that the whole universe
is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean
is doing… The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the
real, deep down you is the whole universe. ”

Alan Watts
