The Sleepwalker's Dilemma
Most of us are asleep. Not the kind where you're tucked in bed dreaming, but a waking sleep where we move through life on autopilot, reacting mechanically to everything around us. "Spirituality means waking up," Anthony de Mello insists. We marry in our sleep, raise children in our sleep, and tragically, many die without ever truly awakening. This unconsciousness explains why we miss life's fundamental paradox: despite all the apparent chaos and suffering, everything is fundamentally well. We can't see this truth because we're trapped in nightmares of our own making. Like a grown man who still needs his father to wake him for school, we've outgrown our sleeping state but resist the alarm clock of awareness. Why do we resist? Because awakening is uncomfortable. It requires facing truths we've spent lifetimes avoiding-our dependencies, our fears, our false beliefs. Most people don't truly want awakening; they merely want their broken toys fixed-their relationships, careers, reputations. They seek better jobs or more harmonious relationships while remaining fundamentally asleep. True awakening isn't about fixing external circumstances but transforming perception. It's seeing reality as it is, not as we wish it to be. This transformation doesn't come through effort but through awareness-a quality of attention that sees through our conditioning. As an Arab saying goes: "The rain is the same, but it produces thorns in the marshes and flowers in the gardens." The difference lies not in the rain but in the soil that receives it.
