What Happens When An Awakened Soul Meets A Sleeping One - Alan Watts

This episode explores the quiet, often painful tension that emerges when awareness deepens while the world around you remains the same. It reflects on the experience of seeing through the collective habits, beliefs, and assumptions that most people accept without question, and what it feels like to live with that clarity in a society still immersed in the familiar dream.Rather than framing awakening as superiority or separation, this reflection looks at the subtle emotional and psychological distance that can arise between those who have questioned the old ways of seeing and those who continue to live within them. It speaks to the loneliness, confusion, and compassion that often coexist when insight deepens.If you have ever felt out of place, misunderstood, or quietly disconnected after a shift in awareness, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on that experience and invites you to relate to it with honesty, patience, and depth.
