First, let us light the torch of our awareness and learn again how to drink tea, eat, wash dishes, walk, sit, drive, and work in awareness. We do not have to be swept along by circumstances. We are not just a leaf or a log in a rushing river. With awareness, each of our daily acts takes on a new meaning, and we discover that we are more than machines, that our activities are not just mindless repetitions. We find that life is a miracle, the universe is a miracle, and we too are a miracle.
I try to live in such a way that nothing gets bigger than my awareness of God presence on my life.
If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching.
It is possible to modify your awareness to perceive what plants perceive, birds, beings in the astral, the causal.
When your awareness is contracted, the flow of energy and information throughout your bodymind is hampered. You tend to stay stuck in toxic emotions such as regret, resentment, and self-pity. Non-nurturing habits such as overeating and not exercising take hold. The feedback loop between your mind and your body turns negative, and stress can hit you instantaneously or grind away at you day after day.
When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.
Good design is partially creativity and innovation, but primarily knowledge and awareness.
Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of.
You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart. You must know what you are feeling. If you don't know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously. If you are unconscious of an aspect of yourself; if it operates outside your field of awareness, that aspect has power over you.
In your present-moment awareness, awaken to your innocence, your trust, your love, your eternal being.
Observe and gradually you will come to see that all existence is occurring in empty awareness.
Trust is simply a set of expectations about the present and the future. The key is to ensure that these are chosen and evaluated based upon awareness versus fear.
Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
That is again the same story played on a more subtle level. That's what the religious people have been doing down the ages - pious egoists they have been. They have made their ego even more decorated; it has taken the color of religion and holiness. Your ego is better than the ego of a saint; your ego is better, far better - because your ego is very gross, and the gross ego can be understood and dropped more easily than the subtle. The subtle ego goes on playing such games that it is very difficult. One will need absolute awareness to watch it.
To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.
When the body is in pain, a distorted area of awareness is crying out to the rest of awareness for help.
The whole world can gossip about you, and if you don't take it personally you are immune.
Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.
If you focus your awareness only upon your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you.
