Introduction

Waking up is a fairly common metaphor in numerous spiritual traditions. And it is used because part of that metaphor is that life, as most of us know it, is a dream. In the formless world, in the spiritual dimension of life, there is no time. The divine now is not a moment in time. It is that space outside of time. Even at a physical level, if you could use a quantum microscope, you would see that they say 99.9% of all matter is empty space. Yet we experience stuff as stuff, as matter, as having density.
