A huge number of people are going through the process of awakening, some in the early stages, some in later stages, and it's wonderful to see.

There is no separation between being and the manifested world, between the manifested and the unmanifested. But the unmanifested is so much vaster, deeper, and greater than what happens in the manifested.
