Spirituality means waking up. Most people, even though they
don’t know it, are asleep. They’re born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in
their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep
without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of
this thing that we call human existence. You know, all mystics—Catholic,
Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their
religion—are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though
everything is a mess, all is well. Strange paradox, to be sure. But,
tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are
asleep. They are having a nightmare.
