To become aware Dean and Siddhartha must examine and exploring the most basic question of life, relying on the immediate experience in the present moment. It is not about belief, doctrine, formula, or tradition; it's about freedom of mind. Siddhartha displayed the ridding of his fathers preference when he told his father he could not live in seclusion, Siddartha’s journey was the beginning of his awakening. Siddhartha thought he could reach enlightenment through masking his suffering with a strong mind. Learning this was the wrong approach from the distant “voice,” he changed his ways and began to understand that one couldn’t find happiness in two extremes, and realized impermanence through the middle way (Siddartha’s found wisdom). Dean had similar revelations when he experienced his own child interacting with Buddhist children, he began to understand that individuals may be intellectually different but are emotionally the same in every way. Through this realization, Dean was able to communicate with the different culture and discover what was true. He was able to transcend beyond religion and realize what connected all of us in the beginning (Dean’s found wisdom). Both individuals had to be awake, alert, in touch with what was actually happening before they could understand and demonstrate true “awareness”, and develop their own wisdom.
