The Princess & the Pea.
A very unusual and interesting fairy tale. It's a story about sensitivity, a bit like the concept of a canary in a coal mine. I think it gets to the heart of the Princess archetype: one who can sense a finer grain of detail than others.
Apply to the human quality of empathy: one who can sense the suffering of others more acutely. The true potential of the Princess. Queen of Hearts.
Here's the punchline:
Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been able to feel the three little peas through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling.

>The Princess & the Pea.
I think the awakening process can be like the Princess & the Pea or anyone.
Long dormant senses come to life. It can overwhelming. It can hurt. Especially when the world we are waking up to is not so comfy.
We were blinded, walking through hell.
Now we awaken and we begin to see.
We see the beauty, but we also see how much is wrong. How much needs to change. How much we need to change.
>I think the awakening process can be like the Princess & the Pea or anyone.
O a typo. Correction:
I think the awakening process can be like the Princess & the Pea for anyone.

Concept
Aji - Potential
In the game of Go, aji refers possibilities in a position. How many liberties does a stone have? Future potential. Latent.
The go definition of aji is derived from one of aji's ordinary usages as taste, in the sense that something that has taste lingers. As such, the go usage of aji refers to lingering possibilities left in a position. These possibilities are latent and usually cannot be used immediately, but rather may come to life at later points in the game. This is why aji is also often translated as potential.
An exact definition for aji can be elusive because it is difficult to describe the concept succinctly without losing accuracy. For example, interpreting the phrase "possibilities left in a position" literally may give one the false impression that any empty corner, side, or even an empty board at the start of a game, is full of aji. Rendering the term as "potential" is likewise unsatisfactory, because this may be confused with "potential territory" or development.
