Is there a name for that feeling when you wake up from, say, a recklessly unplanned nap, and you can’t remember who you are, where you are, what the world is, what existence is? And then, inevitably, things slowly come back into awareness, but for a few seconds there you existed freely without any information attached to you, pulling you down into this heavy, dark, materialist, futile universe? I mean, it’s an okay heavy, dark, materialist, futile universe. I guess. Asking for a friend.
@buster It's a process of Awakening: a broadening of context and relevance. Material needs are the easiest to awaken to because they are strongly selected for. A mind that does not realize it's hungry does not last long.
There are other Awakenings. Exploring them is often a matter of disrupting the current mindset. Strategies like long walks, hot showers, slow stretching, staying up all night, dancing to loud music.
