One man's definition of the fully awakened is:
"someone who went fishing and came back with themselves."

Those who've had deep dips of the direct tasting of life realize that,
mental-wise, they continually die and disappear -- over and over again.

To be awake now, always intend to be awake just ahead of now.

Another way to look at the two describable approaches:
either be single-minded,
or infinitely minded,
but at all costs not dual-minded.

The Great Effort In The Wild:
One way to stay awake is to keep a frozen snake in your shirt.

To be of ordinary awareness is to totally misidentify what is serious.

One man's stance is that "anything that talks shouldn't be listened to."
And, oh yeah, in case I forgot to mention it:
To remain asleep, dazed, and confused, all that's necessary is
that you continue to misidentify what is and is not serious!

And yeah, and one more thing:
You should immediately wash your mind out anytime you even think
the word "serious" and you're not engaged in some life-and-death activity.
