I do not mean that in a negative or judgmental way; I simply mean that the driving force propelling us through life when we are in the dream state is very self-centered. Our motivations have been fueled by “what do I want?” and “what don’t I want?” We’re constantly asking these questions. “What can I achieve? Who will love me? How much joy can I get? How much happiness can I get? How much unhappiness can I avoid? Can I get the right job? Can I find the right lover? Will I get enlightened?”
