Broke: pay attention to what people say Woke: pay attention to what people do Bespoke: pay attention to neither - only the outcome & what they have to gain or lose from that outcome. Then work backwards.

both Genesis 2:7 & Surah Al-Hijr verse 29 describe the soul of man as a result of God "breathing His Spirit" into us is it any surprise that the act of conscious breathing - meditation - increases our awareness of this consciousness?
