You’d, much more likely, get depressed or suicidal than you would actually have the hope of escaping from the dream. Your very best options haven’t produced you peace and happiness. When we are ultimately willing to be taught and say, Soul, you show me, you manual me, let me maybe not try to advise you on the methods to lead me, then we are intuitively diving in to the awakening process.

You just require the faith and trust to get free from the driver’s seat of thinking that you will be individually in control of getting up from this dream.
