I’ve been awake for over 25 years. How about you? Did you know that once we know something we cannot unknow it? Trying to unknow something is like having one foot in one reality and one in another. You are literally pulling yourself apart (depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, medical issues). Many people intuitively know this to be true so instead of looking at what they know, they deny it, pretend it doesn’t exist, make fun of it, belittle it, etc. Truly those things we resist are the very things we need to take a look at. Those things are our teachers in that moment.
