It is my experience that spiritual awakening is like a movie that features a newcomer to an old neighbourhood who starts a garden. People pass by, drop off their beer cans and junk into it. The garden matures, starts to feed them and their senses, comforts them, gives them pride in their neighbourhood, lets them connect with their neighbours. The attitude changes from zero awareness, seeing “nothing”, perhaps irritation about losing the freedom to drop off their trash wherever, the freedom to be unconscious, to appreciating the value the garden provides, liking it, feeling good about it, to inspired thought, “How can I grow something in front of my home too? Maybe I will start when the sun shines on my yard too.”
