What do you think is the biggest trap in the awakening story?
Thinking that's it you or I that awakens rather than our deepest core self. Best not letting ego-mind, our usual self, imagine it's waking to the Real. Best keep it on a leash far as possible from contact with one's awakening-self.
How to keep that leash...
Let this doubting-self doubt, let it hope, let it deceive or be deceived, but above all let it shrink to a dot before any genuine inner opening. In short let it freely do anything except pretend to truly awaken. Let its only irritation be the discomfort of being disillusioned, dissolved, diminished, so that as who we think we are fades, what we might be gets revealed.
