Awareness
AWARENESS = the state of being aware; knowledge and understanding that something is happening or exists
QUESTION: Are you aware that you are awareness?
STORY: The person in this drawing points a finger at a mirror and says that the “object of awareness” is not awareness. WOW! That’s true! Physical things, like fingers, mirrors, books, tables, chairs, windows, etc., are objects that appear to be separate from us. And, it is typical for us all to identify, label, name and judge things as good/bad, like/dislike, beautiful/ugly, etc. However - the ability to be aware is not a thing! Awareness is Consciousness and Consciousness is the formless, timeless, dimensionless, changeless - Higher Mind part of us that is always with us. Consciousness is our innate Essential Eternal Self.
If you are interested in being more aware of your Higher Self - enjoy this exercise. Sit still for one minute and ask yourself:
Who am I? (answer: Awareness)
Where am I? (answer: on earth in a physical body)
What is needed now? (answer: listen to your Heart).
Today with the rapid advance of technology and Artificial Intelligence it is vitally important for every human being to know that we are more than machines.
