E N L I G H T E N M E N T / AWARENESS

Look at a blank screen. Now imagine it = enlightenment.Would you turn on the tv and try to get the characters or drama to show you enlightenment? They are the distractions known as your life.

Now turn off the tv and see the blank screen ( = enlightenment) again.

It’s not an event per se but the realization that there is no event to discover. You were always looking at the screen but too fascinated with the landscape, drama or characters on it to realize you had been looking at/with enlightenment all along.

“You have never ceased being the ever-presence of awareness – not even for a minute” (Rupert Spira).

Any character that you may identify with on the screen does not have to be dealt with before you can be aware (enlightened): the blank screen is your enlightenment.

Awareness doesn’t like or dislike any ‘problems’ going on in your life. Trying to get rid of your separate self is acknowledging that there is a separate self. To REALLY see this would be the end of it.

“DON’T SPEND YOUR LIFE TRYING TO GET RID OF ILLUSIONS: IT’S A WASTE OF A LIFETIME” (Rupert Spira).

Awareness doesn’t have problems because it would have to have resistance first. It never dislikes anything or anyone.

“Be KNOWINGLY the presence of awareness.” Rupert Spira (You already are, but be it knowingly.)
