Every morning, when we open our eyes, we cross the threshold that returns us to the world of our daily lives. We return from the magical, and often incomprehensible, universe of dreams, to the no less magical (and many times more than incomprehensible) world of tangible reality. We hardly ever realize how wonderful this daily return journey is. Most of us do not value in fair measure the "miracle" of each awakening.
This experience is so important that the most notable schools of thought, and each one of the men and women whose words have transcended their time, have built and bequeathed to all a broader and metaphorized concept of the word awakening, a meaning not so related to the passage from sleep to wakefulness but rather related to the shocking experience of enlightenment and to the simple entrance to the spiritual path.
One of the most controversial spiritual teachers, Gurdjieff, taught that man, mechanized by the routine of his daily struggle for subsistence, did nothing more than survive like a sleepwalker, but that sooner or later he should face his awakening.
