“Who wants to awaken? Does awareness want to awaken? No, there is no such thought in awareness. It is the mind that wants to awaken, just as it is the mind that doubts and becomes distracted. What does it mean if it is the mind that wants to awaken? It means that the power the mind has to distract from Self and to create a world of problems, suffering and fear, can now be turned toward Self. Maybe the mind itself cannot awaken, as some say, but all of that power turned back around with the purpose of Self-realization cannot be useless.” ~ Regina Dawn Akers
