No high state, no insight, no far-out enlightenment experience is sufficient. Sustained transformation requires a life of sustained practice—waking up every day and bringing as much awareness and care and presence to every moment of living in order to have the capacity to do that more fully in the next moment and the moment after that. It’s a lifestyle choice. —Terry Patten, <i>EnlightenNext</i>
