AWARENESS. \/ \/ \/
“Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Most people’s lives consist of a flow of thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and so on. Very few people ask, ‘What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?’
The knowing of our being – or rather, awareness’s knowing of its own being in us – is our primary, fundamental and most intimate experience. It is in this experience that the peace, happiness and love for which all people long reside.
The knowing of our own being shines in each of us as the experience ‘I am’ or ‘I am aware’, or simply the knowledge ‘I’. This obvious, familiar experience has no objective qualities and is, therefore, overlooked or ignored by the majority of people. This overlooking of our own being is the ultimate cause of unhappiness.”
The Mind in you is the Mind of God.
The Self in you is the only Self there is.
