And you... Are you asleep or are you awake? Or are you halfway there where you start to wake up but still find yourself pretty sleepy? How can you tell? ⁃ If your behaviors are automatic and your reactions are instinctive, you are asleep. ⁃ If you speak without thinking what you are going to say, and you offend and hurt with your word believing you are sincere, you are asleep. ⁃ If you allow your thinking to control you determining your reactions and you do not even notice it, you are asleep. ⁃ If you live in the role of victim blaming another for your annoyances, you are asleep. ⁃ If you already watch your word and consciously direct it to always be loving, and not to harm anyone, you are awake. ⁃ If your thoughts are absolutely controlled by you, and you always keep them vibrating positively, you are awake. ⁃ If your behavior is of total and absolute respect in every event and with every living being, and you never judge, criticize or attack anyone, you are awake. ⁃ If you do not limit your ability to serve and love, and you always share the best of yourself to all being without condition, you are awake. ⁃ If you notice that your thinking goes to the negative easily, your fears are strongly connected, but you seek to control and direct them even if you still do not fully achieve it, you are halfway there. ⁃ If someone says something aggressive to you and you react rudely, but you detect it and seek to work on you to modify that habit, you are halfway there. ⁃ If you consciously and voluntarily decided to work within yourself to re-program your mind and gradually achieve a loving, calm and serene action, and disconnect the automatic, you are half done. ⁃ If you have already decided to stop suffering and have taken control of your thought, your word and your work, and even when you do not always succeed, you are trying, you are halfway there. It doesn't matter where you are on the road. God's times are always perfect. Nobody goes slow and nobody goes fast in the universal order. The sleeping person suffers. The one who is half as well, but is already on the way to leave suffering. And the awakened one lives in deep joy.
