AWARENESS IS REALITY.
Caveat: This is a worded view, a conceptual construction ABOUT reality. The actual ‘knowing’ of Reality can’t be passed on to another, so it’s up to each of us to see through word-pointings to the underlying truth.
Any insight into reality can and must effortlessly ‘happen’, via awareness – the only non-sentient ‘experience’ that is not body/mind based. Reality is. It is not an experience or concept. Concepts are dual; they have mind-made conceivers and believers. Ideas are personal and conditioned; they propose and posit but only and always are limited to re-presenting, to symbolism, not fact, aka, reality. Concepts compare and contrast, and thus divide, ‘apparently’. Non-duality – oneness, that profound ‘knowing’ that ‘I AM’ – is basic reality; it is a word, but it’s ABOUT a fact, not a concept-about-a concept.
Beyond mind, unattached, choiceless awareness, aka reality, is our Being-nature.
In aware living, one directly knows that one IS, but not what one is, there being in reality no knower, nothing known, no person, no believer with beliefs, etc. Only changeless awareness, aka reality, is aware; all else is changeful, illusion.
Words merely point. My advice to myself: B Y O A, be your own authority, let love lead, listen and be open; flow, grow, and especially, outgrow.
Love, and be well. 🙂
~Awareness – the profound ‘knowing’ that ‘I AM’ – is a word, but it’s ABOUT a fact. Ditto peace, love, beauty, joy.
~To name “what is” is to totally not see reality, but to filter and label it as something else according to the conditioned mind.
~ Ease off on opinions, fears, and inner violence, and the waves of conflict will settle into the sea of peaceful being. Love.
