Spiritual Awakening
There's no getting away from it - a spiritual awakening happens by consent: it's spontaneous occurrence comes at the point of surrender to some crisis, or by working the 12 step programme.
If I did not suffer minute by minute it would be impossible for me to be patient; but I seek only the present moment, I forget the past and take good care not to anticipate the future. If we grow disheartened, if we sometimes despair it's because we have been dwelling on the past or living in the future.
