The way they perceive the world suddenly changes, and they find themselves without any sense of separation between themselves and the rest of the world. But in that instant, the whole sense of “self ” disap- pears. For some, the awakening is sustained over time, while for others the glimpse is momentary-it may last just a split second. These experiences of awakening differ from person to person. By this I mean that people seem to be having moments where they awaken out of their familiar senses of self, and out of their familiar senses of what the world is, into a much greater reality-into some- thing far beyond anything they knew existed. More and more people are waking up-having real, authentic glimpses of reality. There’s a phenomenon happening in the world today.
