For you awoken people... for how long you've had your eyes open?

What motivates you to live in a system we don't believe in?

How have you gone your way from when you had your eyes opened until now, how you manage to keep your own thoughts shut from time to time so you don't go mad? how have you managed to keep yourself alive all this time...?

I feel like i've been awake for a year or so and i'm already feeling tired... i need to find the secret.

I feel like I was somehow predisposed to question. When I was a young child, I stumped my mother with questions regarding our religion. Her answers were never satisfactory and I was amazed that she was satisfied with them. There was never logic in faith for me.

I started to really wake up in my early twenties when I started researching all of my hunches. It's a slow process, waking up doesn't happen suddenly. And the more I discover, the more it feels like a burden. A ball and chain. Sometimes I wish I could go back to sleep. Happily, I have insomnia of the soul.

Now, in my early thirties, I have figured out a few thoughts that keep me from madness, such as realizing my place in history and how lucky I am to be here. In the past, people were executed for having my thoughts. I have to play my role and do my part in spreading this awareness.

I am able to live in this system because I have no choice, really. There is no alternative. Especially if I want to remain in the presence of my family, who are all in a collectively reinforced Cult of the Comatose.

I still become weary from time to time. Having an outlet is key, be it art or writing. I

Life can be overwhelming at times. It's important that you do find an outlet on your path. Your mind can ONLY hold SO MUCH information. I think sometimes in our lives (mine seems to cycle every 5-7 years) things have to dump somehow.

A great way to help find clarity is to find a person who thrives and absorbs energy (sounds weird - but it works). When you do find people like this 0 it's a great outlet.

Unless people sleep type, I am guessing you calling out people that are awake is not needed, it is safe to assume that most here, are in fact awake. But I am moronic, what do I know :P

I too am exhausted but the only thing you can do is just take it one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time, and so on and so forth...

I don't think that anyone is really ever asleep.in turn,I think that they refuse to open their eyes and look around them.they are comfotable in their hypnotic little worlds.their jobs,friends,relatives,social atmospheres,and are too afraid to question,ANYTHING!! Weak people will do one of two things when confronted by anything that they don't understand or are threatened by; they will shy away or want to destroy it. Me personaly,I am married with one 5yr old,lost between work and home and find solice in very little. But I keep trudging on. I listen and do my best to learn,but I ALWAYS QUESTION. You have to find your place. Everyone has something they do or somewhere that they go,be it physically or mentally,to keep from going crazy. Look and you will find it.

I just think it's funny that there are people who think they are "awake" and somehow they, and only they, know the truth about existence.

Waking up is realizing we don't know s***.
