What I think awakening really involves is a reexamination of our common sense. https://youtube/watch?v=Qb1GbRgaWzY We’ve got all sorts of ideas built into us, which seem unquestioned, obvious. Our common sense has been rigged, you see, so that we feel strangers and aliens in this world and this is terribly plausible, simply because it’s what we’re used to. That’s the only reason. But when you really start questioning this ...basic assumption that underlies our culture, you find you get a new kind of common sense: it becomes absolutely obvious to you that you are continuous with the universe. For example, people used to believe that the people who lived in the Antipodes would fall off, and that was scary. But then, when somebody sailed around the world, and we all got used to it, and now we travel around in jet planes and everything, we have no problem about feeling that the world is globular, none whatever. We got used to it. So in the same way, Einstein’s relativity theories, the curvature of the propagation of light. That began to bother people, when Einstein started talking like that, but now we’re all used to it. Well in a few years it will be a matter of common sense to very many people that they are one with the universe. It will be so simple. And then maybe, if that happens, we shall be in a position to handle our technology with more sense. With love instead of with hate, for our environment..
