How much of the time do we live in the dreamlike nature of thoughts and perceptions? Our sensory awareness tends to go to the external. The more we get clear about that it becomes meaningful to stay in and with ourselves. We have the capacity to see life in a clear and transparent way, that is aligned with the depth of reality and makes our inner reality a sanctum and a sacred ground.
