I remember in '81 when I left MIU and returned home and re-entered the "real world". I had to come to grips with some of my desires, which pertained to sex, diet, routine, meditation. I was breaking away from the habits and thought patterns I had been abiding. Concurrent with the thought, "Okay, I'm breaking the rules", was, "This is who I am, If I'm going to get struck down, so be it, but THIS IS WHO I AM, AND I ACCEPT IT". This was my awakening. Nothing has been the same since. I have heard many others here express this same sentiment. I'm not sure if this is what they call "waking down". I kinda lost my interest in getting involved in any groups. lurk >
