Zazen: quitting the habit,
leaving habits, the habitats of the mind, the refuges of consciousness,
and reaching the depths of depths, the space of spaces,
The ample nature, the source of the awakened mind.

Notes & Silence 
This reminds me of something I think I read in a book by Colin Wilson (long time ago) about the need to get away from autopilot and be, actually, conscious. I suppose Paulo Coelho makes a similar point when he speaks of breaking routine.
We are buried in an illusion and pretend, unthinkingly, that it is real.

I believe suffering is both what glues us to the illusion and what has the potential to drive us out of it.

It requires awareness of what is going on first, though, I think.
