Thanks! I am in my waking state and must tend to the tasks in front of me today. My flapper valve on the toilet cracked - I believe I am going to purchase a new one and try and fix it if I can figure out how to turn the water off. :)

Waking alternates with sleep and dreaming states. That's all. Spiritual traditions sometimes intimate there are other states of experience that are 'more awake' or different than waking. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote : My eyes cracked open and I became conscious of the sound of my daughter's voice asking me if I would write her a check for school. I realized I was alive another day and that light was streaming through the window. I said a little prayer of gratitude and began to wonder if I had the skill set to fix the toilet. What, the moment of waking up is called the waking state? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : What happened when you woke up this morning? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote : Re: "You guys can't even figure out waking state, huh? LOL" Would anyone be willing to define "waking state" for me as it is discussed on this forum?
