Suffering is certainly a common opening for the awakening of awareness—but it's not the only one! Kim reflects on how the evolution of consciousness begins and unfolds in various ways along our path.
If you follow this book’s guidance, your life’s journey can become what it is meant to be: “a glorious adventure, full of grace and joy,” one in which you are present in the Now and therefore stop to smell the roses, ever aware of the beauty and the miracle of life continuously unfolding all around you. In this way, you can transcend ego, thought chatter, the pain-body — our inherited dysfunction — and contribute to the flowering of human consciousness, the evolutionary leap that is the only way humanity can overcome the seemingly insurmountable problems we face.
