We
awaken from our apparent sleep walking
state and
come into a more
awakened, intelligence where we make sound, alert decisions on how
to respond
to our surroundings and live blissfully in the Now.
(Think of young George Bush,
coming from a lax Texas school
to the rigors of Phillips Andover, which he strained
to meet, or young Barack Obama being
awakened early in the morning by his mother in Indonesia so he could master the curriculum he would face once back in the United
States.)
