It takes a lot of conditioning to separate ourselves from our true nature. We spend a lifetime doing it. It takes a lot of training to reconnect with our true nature.
There comes a moment when we realize that something isn't quite right, that somehow we haven't been told the whole story, that there's more to this life than people seem to think or than we've been told. The moment that thought arises, we begin to glimpse something, and the need to awaken is born.
