"You think of yourselves as humans searching for a spiritual awakening, when in fact you are spiritual beings attempting to cope with a human awakening."

I like it. I hadn’t thought of it quite like that before. And the quote is kinda poetic.

@Consilience It represents the switch that occurs in one's spiritual journey. At first we are just our ego's story looking for a way out of suffering. Then as we develop spiritually and consciously we discover something within us that is constant, and appears to be at our core. Then as our core becomes uncovered we begin to lose our attachment to the ego's stories.The main story we lose is that we are humans looking for happiness and an end to our problems. Then the rest of our lives it spent trying to integrate our true nature, while our old stories, the ego, fight to keep us lost in the stories.
