Another way to awaken is to trust the power that knows the way. In other words you have to have faith in the goodness of life. You have to have faith in supremacy of goodness.

This is the reason why I can say these things and tell you that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should. This is the truth. This is what I see, honestly, truly. I see such joy, such love, such harmony, such peace and I see yourself as myself. In other words I do not see anything else that separates yourself from me. The love that I see is you. The absolute reality I see is yourself.
Now I’m a mirror and I cannot see myself so I see myself as the world. You are a mirror also and you cannot see yourself. But what do you see when you look at the world. Your mirror is covered with dust. You see man’s inhumanity to man. You see terrible cataclysms, wars, and you become upset, you become worried, you become frustrated.
