Unenlightenment
"We should not ask, 'How do I stay awake?' Instead we should ask, 'How is it that I'm unenlightening myself?'"
Adyashanti
It's the wounded and conditioned parts of our minds that unenlighten us.
They unenlighten us by contracting into a separate self.
They contract because they're afraid.
They're afraid because they don't yet understand that our true nature, in which all parts are included, cannot be harmed.
