Awareness of awareness comes from awareness itself. The “I” self can never achieve awareness because it is only a thought. Once we “see” that thought is helpless to elicit the timeless non-state, we are still, and so is the world. Stillness is an autonomy wherein awareness is aware of itself being total and complete. It is not a state we enter and leave. Thoughts related to the ultimate come from the ultimate. There is no need to drop them. Bow to them!
What is noticed?
Last night was just what my Dr ordered … the sound bath Was ethereal like you wanted us to remember … a very different vibration that worked with us in a quiet but full way, full of light. At one point I thought you were doing a call back and it sounded like a Bell buoy ringing near a lighthouse, which I realize is a slightly silly symbolism, but for me growing up near them actually worked! You were still soundbathing so I sat and was more aware. What a peaceful and just what I needed place to be. Namaste.
I’ve been totally aware of Covid in and around my physical self , and I’m aware of how my body is fighting this virus. I Heard the booster was doing it’s job even with fog brain but that made it all more interesting. What or who is telling me this I said, who’s in charge now? Haha I love this work when life throws us shit to deal with while trying to be normal and get on with life! Awareness has the best seat in town to watch the watcher being watched, thanks Keshav! I’m still bowing.
Every time I have a moment of realization that there’s a watcher watching I have a holy shit moment. In my last session with Keshav I had a bunch of “ohs” that I have experienced before yet still find surprising. To see the stories as just a reminder home is a peaceful choice to what I often experience as painful. My choice!
You reminded me that the “I” is thought into existence. That it is imaginary. It is something I thought up. But in between the thoughts, where there is no thought to distract or get in the way, awareness is waiting there to be noticed and embraced.
My gosh. It is so simple and yet takes a constant choice which is very different from what I have been doing. I guess that’s the stumbling block…the doing. In reading Keshav’s words “thought is helpless to elicit the non-state”, I simply took a breath and felt profound stillness. Everything and all comes from the ultimate consciousness. No need for me to fight, judge, convince. Just breathe and stay attentive.
Yes, Donna, when I make “finding” awareness into a doing it brings only futility.
