No cause, no preparation — ordinary life, then something completely different
About a quarter of accounts describe awakening arriving with no apparent cause — in the middle of a conversation, while driving, walking, or doing something entirely mundane. No practice, no teacher, no seeking. Just ordinary life, and then something else.
These accounts are among the most striking in the collection because they most clearly separate awakening from anything the person was doing to bring it about. Something shifted on its own.
So it seems like it has been a practice that people have engaged in and you know, you didn't know it was a practice, but it just happened to you spontaneously.
So one time the pain was very intense and I I had called out to my client I said I am so sorry like my knee just started hurting out of nowhere and it's on fire and this is very uncomfortable um I actually need to take a moment you know to catch my breath in this.
Exactly it's natural, spontaneous, it just happened.
So, if I was driving a car and suddenly somebody, and all of a sudden my first chakra was in a heightened state.
