The first step to awakening is to realize that we are identified with the matrix of the human mind, with a mask. The matrix of the mind distracts us, entertains us, keeps us endlessly doing, consuming, grasping in a cycle of craving and aversion with constantly changing form, keeping us from the flowering of our consciousness, our evolutionary birth right. Your divine essence has become enslaved, identified with the limited self structure. The great wisdom, the truth of who you are is buried deep within your being.
