I tried to explain enlightenment (awakening) to a Christian

[Inliytened1]

She had just woken up from a dream and was explaining how real the dream seemed.  So real in fact that she couldn't tell it was a dream.  But then she woke up and was like, wow!

I said..well, that's exactly what spiritual awakening is but with reality.

And you will be like..holy fuck..its incredible. Anyway, we had talked about this stuff before but she is dead set on materialism and Jesus.

Well..needless to say she promptly kicked me out of the bed.  That did not go too well..but I was glad I waited till morning to tell her 😀

Her awakening is something I am imagining but if I imagine its real there is no difference.  So both of us. Until I wake up

If there is no difference then where is the plot twist ?

Real religion or awakening is surrendering the dreamer or awakener. Not the attachment to dream or awakening.
