Wakefulness is not a destination but a song the human heart keeps singing, the way birds keep singing at the first sign of light.
Mark Nepo
Image
Wakefulness is the only saintliness there is, and sleepiness, unconsciousness, is the only sin there is all other sins are born out of it. Cut the root, cut the very root! Don't go on pruning the leaves.
Rajneesh
Image
Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Awake asleep ought to be with us - So he may see dreams in wakefulness.
Rumi
Image
Presence is not some exotic state that we need to search for or manufacture. In the simplest terms, it is the felt sense of wakefulness, openness, and tenderness that arises when we are fully here and now with our experience.
Tara Brach
Image
The ocean sleeps. The ocean wakes. And the waking of the ocean is the waking of the soul. At midnight wakefulness springs from within the ocean.
Wasif Ali Wasif
Image
Normal consciousness is a state of stupor, in which the sensibility to the wholly real and responsiveness to the stimuli of the spirit are reduced. The mystics, knowing that man is involved in a hidden history of the cosmos, endeavor to awake from the drowsiness and apathy and to regain the state of wakefulness for their enchanted souls.
Abraham Joshua Heschel

Think of a flabby person covered with layers of fat. That is what your mind can become - flabby, covered with layers of fat till it becomes too dull and lazy to think, to observe, to explore, to discover ... not wanting to be disturbed or questioned into wakefulness.
Anthony de Mello
Image
Humans are potentially capable of living in a state of consciousness compared to which normal wakefulness is like sleeping or dreaming.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The greatest miracle is the miracle of wakefulness, to awaken from the dream of life and to see infinity everywhere, even in the finite, in the simple doings of life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do. To dream, to live in the world of dreams. But it doesn’t last forever. Wakefulness always comes to take me back.
Haruki Murakami
Image
We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing...a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.
Plotinus
Image
The secret, or innermost, level of wisdom is pure intuition, clarity, lucidity, innate wakefulness, presence, and recognition of reality. This transcendental wisdom is within all of us—it just needs to be discovered and developed, unfolded and actualized.
Surya Das
Image
In the process of deeply accepting our own inner experience, instead of being identified with a story of a limited self, we realize the compassion and wakefulness that is our essence.
Tara Brach
Image
We forget most of our dreams because we don't have access to those parts of our brain once we are switched to wakefulness. But why we evolved that way is a puzzle to me.
Amy Hardie
Image
But if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding when you look out, more awareness when you wake up, more wakefulness as you go about your day, more inner happiness.
David Lynch
Image
Every morning we awaken from sleep and from our dreams and enter the state we call wakefulness. A continuous stream of thoughts, most of them repetitive, characterizes the normal wakeful state.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Perpetual wakefulness doesn't mean you have all physical knowledge, that you can speak all languages, that you can fix cars...that is a storybook, Hollywood version of the enlightenment experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything counts for gain when we are cosmically awake. Nothing counts, unless we are awake. No enjoyments last, no successes satisfy, no gains have meaning unless accomplished in a state of wakefulness.
Henry David Thoreau
