They see that who they are is the silence in which sound is happening, the spaciousness in which movement occurs. This kind of recognition, whether fleeting or abiding, is called an awakening.

What was considered a peak mystical experience a few years ago is today the basic platform of sanity from which our exploration begins.

A translucent person appears to glow as if from the inside. It's as though they've been lit up from inside and they appear to emit light.

The translucent revolution is not only about more and more people having awakening, it's also about the way that awakening is embodied â€" and that's much more revolutionary, actually.

The dominant trance of the planet is that we live in a perpetual sense of lack, a perpetual sense of, "If only I could make this small tweak, then I would feel okay." And, of course, none of the tweaks ever work in the long term.

Most of us spend our lives convinced that there's something missing: "If only I had a bigger barbecue, more money, a bigger car, a different wife, a different.... If only I could upgrade somehow, then I would be okay."

Whenever we release our need to be right about everything as parents, we are able to meet our children in a relationship of mutuality and respect.
