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.
