Waking up, Vs, Being woke up..
    #5344150 -

When you are allowed to wake up? it is like when you reboot Windows XP, .. by that start-menu button? [You hit the button and all the ? resent changes? are stored]

And if you are waken up, ?by force?, it is like you pulled the plug?

Thus nothing is saved of the "new changes" ?


So you have to do the session again. [if] Just to get where you were?
?and all ?them settings? you changed, is unaltered!

?No wonder people keep drinking!?
-Unknown :p

:grin:

I think the amount of sleep we need might be related to how much information the mind has to process. That is, if sleep even correlates with the need to focus on the subconscious mind to process our experience... I'm not studied in such... :smirk:

Personally, I never get enough sleep as my body naturally wishes to take. In fact, right now, I'm insanely tired, but yet I make myself stay up and focus on various tasks. Work certainly doesn't alleviate this dilemna (perhaps because it is the cause of the dilemna :lol:), my requirement of both work and the fufillment of my interests means that I don't get enough sleep. :mad:

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :satansmoking:
Peace. :mushroom2:

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

i think he means that because we pull the plug when we trip, we aren't tripping naturally and have to keep tripping in order to "stay awake" versus being able to be constantly "awake" by finding spirituality naturally.

by being forced to wake up or pulling the plug i think he means death, as opposed to concious waking up while alive... yes?

Today I set my alarm for 9:30am... and I was woken up by pounding on my front door a few minutes before that (doorbell is broken). Maybe those extra minutes wouldn't have changed anything this time or other times... and, technically, I'm probably not getting any more REM in the last hour or so of sleep, but it is borderline painful. Not every "woken up by someone else" situation has been so jolting, but it always seems to feel the same.

Note: In desperate need of a cure...

Hehe... funny thing is, I'm always going around interpretting subtle metaphorical meaning in posts, yet this one I assumed to be meant in a very literal sense.

Back to the subject at hand:

I HATE being woken up, instead of waking up. I find there is a world of difference. When I wake up to an alarm clock, I am instantly "ego-heavy", with a tendency to be snappy and a little unpleasant to be around for the first couple hours of the day.

However, when I wake up on my own, I'm more likely to wake up light and unbounded by the weight of my ego. After this, the ego seems to "wake up" seperately, at a slower rate.

This absence of ego allows my creative side to bloom in these moments.

I also believe this "peaceful time" is one's best opportunity for self-relfection, as it seems to allow one to see their own follies more clearly than would be allowed when one's mind-protecting systems (ego) are more fully rooted for the day.

"In the mourning I can see the signs.
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied.
In the morning I can see inside...
myself and all the things that you were trying to hide."
