Chop wood carry water

There is a Zen saying, "Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water."
It does seem to be the case.
There does seem to be more drive to share what is here however.
This blog is an extension of that....
Other actions may result as well although the form this will take is not clear at this stage.

Somewhat non dual reality - 30th july

The last week has been interesting.
A lot of stuff has been moving through.
Doesn't feel like a lot compared to say 6 months ago however and I have had the experience of dropping out of the awake state and back into the dream.
The mind/ego can be very sneeeky when it wants to be ( which seems to be all the time)
I have become attached to being awake...So in order to stay awake I have to let go of the attachment to it
This dropping in and out can be common in the early stages apparently and even teachers who have been sitting in unbroken awakening for years can still drop into the dream.
