Q: How does one practice clarity of intention? A; Simply ask yourself, "What do 1really want? Am 1 ready and willing to be Free, here and now?" Q; 1don't feel ready yet, 1still feel bound in time. What kind of practice should Ido to ripen my readiness? A; You should ask yourself, "Why don't 1feel ready right now?! What is it I'm afraid of? What is it I'm unwilling to let go of? What is it that's holding me back from letting go of everything I’ve ever known?" Q: That's asupremely direct path. A; Waking up is not agame. That's why you have to be deadly serious about this. There is tremendous sacrifice involved and if you're not ready to struggle and face your worst fears then you have no business seeking for Enlightenment in the first place. Aserious person can't bear to wait any longer. Aperson who is not serious feels that they have all the time in the world. 2 8 Be Deadly Serious Be Deadly Serious People Who Are Serious Succeed The Ego Never Sought Enlightenment What Does It Mean to Be Serious about Awakening? 2 9
