Choice-less Awareness

 Simply return, again and again.

Come back to what is real.

Come back to what is untouched,

what is untainted and unharmed 

by the comings and goings of the world.

I have a friend who always becomes very quiet when something feels off. I don’t know if you have realized, most of the time we are carried by a higher energy. It is as if we align to a higher energy that does all the talking and acting. There is a force present in the background that we can always align with. Being, consciousness, bliss is the force we can always be part of.

 

Tough choices are bound to come up. Life is not just a casual stroll in the park. Yet these”problems” are a gift from the beyond. When we become still, we can see our self wrapped up in these decision points. Freedom is the power to recognize who is behind this choice. Freedom is the ability to spot the I-identification at work. Take a deep breath and connect with Awareness.

 

The psychologist Viktor Frankl discovered that “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” That’s brilliant! Awareness is always in the background ready to be synced up with, but we sometimes forget. In the choice we rediscover choice-less Awareness.
