HOW TO REALIZE YOUR SELF IN 1 SECOND

 You are consciousness (existence, beingness, the feeling 'I am') imagining experiences (dreaming). Such is your nature.

 Because consciousness is bodiless, immaterial and non-spatial, there can never be any creation (transformation in space).

 Hence, to have experiences consciousness has to imagine division as subject and object (individuals and world appearances).

 To realize consciousness as your true nature, simply:

Close your eyes

Empty your mind of all concepts and be completely still

When your mind is empty of everything, you will find you are still aware (conscious)

And in that realization lies the truth of the statement "Be still and know that I am God (consciousness)." 

 Once awareness of awareness matures, it becomes easier to be aware of your awareness (real Self) even when your eyes are open.

 Although it may seem difficult to make the mind completely empty and still, everyone can accomplish that for at least one second.

 And during that one second of stillness and empty of concepts, all that remains is that you are still aware (conscious, that you still exist).

 One second is more than enough to realize the absolute truth: that you are consciousness (existence, beingness).

 One second is more than enough to completely change a life.

 Consciousness is bodiless, but to experience itself has to imagine a body. But the body is only a vehicle of experience, not the Self (consciousness).

 When the Absolute truth (reality) is realized in even one second of emptiness and stillness, one comes to realize:

Before you had a body, you were aware (conscious that you exist)

While you have a body, you are aware (conscious that you exist)

After the body is gone, you will remain aware (conscious that you exist)

Awareness always remains (existence always exists)

 Awareness exists forever and is the screen upon which life is imagined (as with a body and world in dreams).

 Concepts (thoughts) alone lead one into unawareness (forgetfulness) of the substratum of life (consciousness).  

 So long as one identifies with thoughts or the body, one remains unaware of one's true Self (as consciousness).

 There is never a time when consciousness does not exist (since it is existence itself).

 All the mischief in life results from misidentification: identifying as a body and mind (the unreal) over awareness (the true Self).

 And all the good in life comes from tuning into your true nature as awareness (existence, consciousness, beingness).

 Since it is the nature of awareness to imagine experiences, such is the spontaneous play of awareness.

Knowing this, simply shift your identity to awareness (consciousness) to play freely in the imagined world appearance.
