That I cannot understand how waking up might take 10 - 30 years! I believe there is an actual moment of awakening and it shouldn't take that long, once you are out from under the daily influence. But after the waking up, there is smelling the coffee, getting your s--t together, not going back to sleep and wishing you didn't wake up!

I don't think there was anything wrong with Joseph's quote by itself, stand alone. Yes there are other issues, and I do think that Joseph will never know some of the things we know too. But I related the point he made to my point, that we were all living a lie and spreading a lie at some point, and that even after leaving, we have work to do on getting the lie out of ourselves. The less lie we are living in us, the less we are spreading that lie.
