Folks I would like to ask what your opinion of being awake is.

For me it is the ability to think for myself. While I have things I wish were true I am able to put that on a shelf and find things that are true. I think it is the will to put my wishes to the side and except what can be proven over what I personally wish to be true. It is a painful thing to do at times because there are some truths I just do not want to face, I think that is true of all of us but I know that until I can stand against what we face with truly open eyes I will always wonder if I fell asleep again and didn't even notice. There is one thing that I do not need proof for and never will need proof for and that is my God. He is a feeling more than truth. He is much more to me than what anything in this world can offer. He is my strength and direction. Share with me if you will what you believe it is to be awake. All replies welcome with no judgement.

Yes, God is a feeling. I believe in God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit - but I do not believe in the church run by the Vatican or the Church of England etc. I believe Gods Church is in each and every person that believes in him. Man made the the Church after God sent his son Jesus. It has profited and corrupted ever since, and too many evildoers take upon the priesthood for easy access in my opinion.
