Are you awake or asleep?
On the surface it’s a pretty straightforward question, isn’t it?
That’s because by the traditional definition of these words, it is straightforward.
Being asleep you’re unconscious, generally in bed.
Awake you’re consciously aware.
That’s different to the deeper definitions we’re talking about here.
“Awake?”
You may know that there’s a deep rabbit hole here?
In fact, perhaps this is the deepest rabbit hole that you can ever explore.
If you are on this path of evolving yourself and particularly have explored new-age or Eastern or spiritual or deeper esoteric teachings you might be using this word as we do.
Often you hear people on this path use this in a negative, judgmental way.
Because they are accumulating knowledge and are now more awake to how the human being is truly functioning (e.g. automatically), they label themselves in a more flattering way as having woke or being awake.
Others are labelled often pejoratively as being asleep, or called say “Sheeple.”
I suggest that you never want to judge anyone, especially when you know how easy it is to keep falling asleep.
