There is awareness of objects
I am aware of the tree
I am aware of your face
Who is this I who is aware?
Who sees through these eyes?
Without the animating life of awareness
These eyes are blind
It is awareness alone that sees
In this seeing of the true subject
Awareness is aware of itself
As the only reality
And in this recognition is peace forever
Sat #1445-1448
Due to conditioned habits, the mind tries to seek happiness
In outer objects
But the game is up now
There is no satisfaction there
No lasting happiness
The road is clear and bright
I joyfully skip along it
Knowing who I am
Sun #1449-1452
When you know your reality is pure consciousness
You discover you share your reality with all beings
And so nothing is apart from you
There are no problems, no misery, no questions for the Self
Can you feel the astonishing bliss
You are already what you seek
You can never be anything else!
Mon #1453-1456
This is the culmination of the path
The end of the seeker
I am consciousness
Now live your life in joy
In the conscious knowledge of this realisation.
Tues #1457-1460
Consciousness is your reality
You are the Self
Be still and know the truth
There is no need to scurry around
Seeking the truth that is here now
Like the necklace that never left your neck
No need to engage in the mental task of asking
Who am I?
The Self is known by itSelf
What joy!
Wed #1461-1464
What is the most fundamental thing that is known
When all learning and experience is stripped away
What is left?
I AM
I exist
I know that I am
I know I exist
This knowing is shared by all of us
It is the only stable knowledge we have
The only thing that can be known for sure
The only thing , in the end, that is needed
This is perfect freedom and peace
Thurs #1465-1468
Consciousness is the true subject
The I who is hearing these words right now
Is infinite consciousness
Mistakenly believe to be a person
The person is a thought in the mind of consciousness
A dream figure
Playing the game of life on earth
That which truly perceives
That sees, hears, feels, tastes, touches , thinks, feels, loves,
Is Consciousness itself
Discard the false thought of the limited person
And simply shine
As you truly are
And now forevermore
Live effortlessly
In the joy of your being
Fri 1469-1472
At the core of all despair, all suffering, all apparent loss
Lies a simple case of misplaced identity
The body is an insentient vehicle
Until it is animated and infused by Life.
The animating Life, Consciousness, God
Blows breath into its vessels
Moment by moment
Experiencing its Creation though billions of eyes
Billions of hearts
Serving itself with billions of hands
Vessels break down and return
To their original state of inanimation
When their purpose has been served
But Life is ever present
Bursting forth
In ever new configurations
Being experienced by those who remember
As floods of great peace
Being celebrated by those who know
The power of true Love
The awakening is always happening
Awareness is always aware
Attention always attends itself
Love always loves itself
Life always is
I am
God Is
Simply cease to speak
Melt in silent wonder
Sat 1473- 1476
I start with the hypothesis
Awareness is aware of itself
And investigate;
Am I awareness?
I am aware of birds chirping, the sound of the sawmill, the sound of the keys being tapped
A slight hum in the background
How do I know this?
I am aware of being aware
I know that I am aware
Who knows?
Awareness knows
In this awareness there is no “self” to be aware
There is only awareness aware
It is awareness that is aware
I am aware
Therefore what I am must be awareness!
QED
Sun 1477-1480
Everything that arises is the temporary dazzling display of manifestation
It flows, changes, appears, disappears
But what I am in the constant, conscious awareness that contains it all
The background of being
This is what I am
This is where I rest
This is Truth.
Mon 1481-1484
What I am is that which sees, that which perceives.
The one I thought I was -this lovely Susan character - is also an object that is seen
Rest in the remembrance of what you are
Not the character
The Perceiver
The Lover
The Knower
