It must have happened to you that you read a book, or saw a favorite movie, or talk to someone so interesting that your awareness of your body disappeared. Your body was the vessel allowing that experience, but the energy of the experience flew right by it. It was as if your body didn’t exist at that moment!
Awareness is just like that, only that the story of “me, myself and I,” the memories we carry with us, the established neural network and the pain body are put out of commission. How to get there? Well, just take a close look at your surroundings, see the beauty, watch the thoughts and feelings in action and realize you are not them. “You” aren’t even the one listening to your thoughts, you are the Awareness watching that inner dialogue and all these spiritual memes others have installed in you. There is no “you,” just the silence and serenity of the moment that speaks for itself.
Everyone is driven by an energy to get somewhere. Sometimes this quest is conscious, often it’s unconscious. Onwards and upwards the quest goes. When we say, “I want to be aware of this subconscious quest,” we are part of the same problem statement. That’s because we want to be serene, loving, happy instead. That’s why we observe. Yet, when we observe the drive as is, without wanting to get anything from this understanding, just observing what drives us without motive, that’s when this force that doesn’t want to be here now deflates. That’s when Awareness floods in.
I observed that my reading, writing and teaching was the subconscious quest. While no longer looking for the truth I made my calling writing and lecturing about it. There is nothing wrong with the mission. It’s what gives me pleasure and I will likely continue with it. Hey, by being aware of this motivation serenity set in. The observer saw the observer at work and the story of “me, myself and I” as a teacher and light worker came to an end. When Awareness is present “you” ceases just as the body appears to disappear when we are totally engaged.
