“There is only awareness; awareness as you enter a building, awareness of all the colours, the faces, the people; awareness in which there is no choice – just to be aware. As you are aware when you look at a flower or when you listen to the sound of an aeroplane overhead, just to totally listen to it, neither resisting it nor getting irritated with it. Completely listen to it. If you do that, there is no unconscious, which becomes such a trivial affair.”
J Krishnamurti
~ Awareness is reality; reality is awareness. Reality has no subject with its object; it’s not personal, not egoic, not a concept; it never appears as anything ‘other’ than the constant ‘awareingness’ which it is, here/now. All that comes and goes is not real; that which we essentially, infinitely are – pure aware spirit – is all that is. There’s no ‘unreal’, only imagination that’s believed to be ‘real’. Like love, there’s no opposite to ‘reality’. It is. To know reality is to be it AND to not have any idea what it is… 🙂
