There is no previous existence to begin with.

There is no previous existence to begin with.
There's no one to practice anything. 

You are living in time that doesn't exist.
The time that you're living in right now,
the second that you're in, 
you're already awake totally and completely, to divine nature. 

In this moment, where you are right now,
you are self-realized and you are free.

But when you begin to think about it,
you bring up the deluded world,
you begin to believe other things. 

So then you begin to think.
You bring your belief system to the place and
it spoils everything for you. 

For the thinking is concerned with time and space.
The thoughts are concerned with the world, with the universe,
the past and the present.

Yet there is no past and present at all. 

And there is no one to awaken from anything.

For you were never really asleep.
