Pure Knowing!

by | Sep 11, 2020 | Community Insights | 7 comments

Awareness has an innate capacity to reflect its surroundings, even if no object is there to reflect. Pure Awareness is a simple Knowing – pure creativity; knowing without a knower. We all reflect the light of awareness; even if we fail to recognize it.

    I felt the inclination to revisit my Death Song…..I actually shared me reading it in a video on Facebook….it is all about love and the return to love.  Love is letting go of fear for me.  Something I think everyone could benefit from in this Covid 19 year of extreme FEAR.  I prefaced it with explaining to them that it was about the Death of the EGO,  I will restate it here for my fellow group members in case you would like to be reminded of it.  I would love to read yours as well, if you still have it.  This was an assignment from Keshav and I recall we were to use our allies to help us with our death song.
    Diane’s Death Song:  "This is the year to have no fear.  We will take you by the hand and guide you away from this land.  So, as you enter the state of Grace you will find that heavenly place where only love occupies your space.  Come with us and you will see, you as you were meant to be:  No longer afraid or able to hide that place in you where love abides.."  Love, Diane

    There are many layers of the seek and hide Dream of Reality. It seems to me that the stark reality is that everything is both birthing and dying in every moment. More importantly, evolution is in the air. Now is the only Time for peace and equality for all.
     
    Those who resist the common sense dream where: we all do well when we all care for each other. Those who impede that dream get to play with Kali.

    I need the experience of Arguna in order to truly understand the wisdom of Krishna. Why else would I even be in form? I fall into judgement, I fall into time, and my body informs me that something is amiss. I am jolted awake and hear the call back and the bliss of remembering that I am Krishna is all the more appreciated. I am safe at home. Then I can appreciate that we are all Arguna as well. And the Krishna that is me feels compassion for all the others having their Arguna illusions. It’s a game of catch and release for sure, Keshav. We are playing a game of life’s illusions and then remember illusions is all they are. There was always a rubber duck on the alter to remind us not to take life too seriously. It is an important thing to remember.

    I am aware that at the core "I am" innately predisposed to experience life through eyes that reflect hope and optimism. It feels like a simple knowing; it exists without cause. That is the "who" that knows – A mostly awake and aware balance of Krishna and Arguna.
     
    What usually breaks the peace of undivided attention is a random thought or thoughts that are highly judgemental and scripted. And, the content of those thoughts is profoundly lacking in creativity or compassion.
     
    It is a real blessing to be aware that those mostly belittling thoughts are not even my own. I find that taking a step back into the witness position allows the aperture of awareness to expand enough to feel the flimsy and demeaning nature of those scripts.  That, is clearly enough of an invitation for us to stop, and change the nature of the path we are on. 
     
    The insertion of time in the middle of timeless presence is the fundamental distraction for me. That version of me is still holding onto baseless insecurities. The "I Am" is the Me who knows of the fleeting nature of insecurity. Cloud Illusions that they are.

    I have re-read many things I have written and truly do not remember having even had the thoughts. I have been wowed by them as I know that the body mind known as Diane didn’t think of them. It truly came from “pure awareness “. Who knew?

    When I get out of the way there is only “pure awareness.” “Pure knowing” is highly nonjudgmental (I am not there to judge) and there is a lot of creative energy with seemingly limitless possibilities. In retrospect, that is how I experience it.

    Allowing life to flow through me, dismantles the need to impose my will on it. That makes room for a causeless explosion of creativity.
