Dying to be Alive

“There is a peculiar suffering that comes with awareness. A kind of exile that happens not when you leave the world, but when you truly see it. You sit down to watch a movie everyone loves and within minutes you are analysing the manipulation tactics, the propaganda, the tired formulas. You’re at a party and instead of enjoying the moment you are observing the social performance, the masks, the desperate need for validation in ever conversation. You used to enjoy these things. But something changed. You woke up and you can’t go back to sleep. “  - Alan WattsToday we are exploring one of the most painful consequences of an expanded consciousness. The simple loss of pleasure. Jacqueline and I share our own experiences and understanding on the topic of coming into higher consciousness, also known as, dying to be alive.
