Manifesting awareness

 In the olden days the church told us to obey the 10 commandments, but today we understand that the one who tries to do good is conditioned. The intention may be good, but the faculties enforcing it are faulty.

 

Today the modern-day teachers tell us that we are That—consciousness, nothingness, the screen on which the movie of life is being played—but has anything really changed? Life provides the answers just as in the olden days.

 

When Eckhart Tolle says, you are the one who listens to your thoughts, then who is listening? The conditioned self that has been playing ethical and religious games for eons, or is the biased entity aware of its shenanigans?

 

I am the one who notices drive and depression in me. I am the one who sees if life is gelling or throwing wrenches into the works. Manifesting awareness requires equanimity of mind, watchfulness and passion of the heart.

 

Manifesting awareness doesn’t have an actor, not even a witnessing observer. The energy of the moment speaks for itself. Our job is merely not to mess it up. Is life flowing right now without the self in the Way?
