I found that to be so true in my life, but it's not very easy. I feel like awareness is a luxury or a privilege that is very hard fought because you're guessing.

On that first step of just acknowledging, just understanding that there is a puppet master there controlling us and exactly which strings that puppet master is pulling in our lives. How does one go about awareness, the process of awareness? Is there, I mean, is it introspection, keeping a diary, therapy? What is it?
