Awareness looks on

 Just because it feels good doesn’t mean you should run after it, and vice versa, just because it feels bad doesn’t mean you should avoid it.

 

Who is the decision maker? Who makes these calls? Your higher self looking down on the lower self? Hardly! Awareness simply looks on.

 

It takes a little bit of a stoic nature to let stuff bubble to the surface with you sitting on the fence looking. Feel the feeling and do nothing!

 

You cannot uninstall the conditioning that made you over the eons. You cannot let go and you cannot will yourself into a different state.

 

Awareness is, but sitting and watching the interplay of body, mind and world, and sitting with the surprises, the hurt the longings is the connection.

 

Vinod Mittal describes “Awareness is” as the salt doll going for a swim in the ocean, melting its entity as it submerges in the ocean.

 

True meditation is inviting what is without exception, watching the “I” melt in its presence. Awareness is—can you see, feel and sense it?
