It is very pleasing hearing your statements. I wouldn't agree with unchanging awareness. As I think of it I can't remember my baby awareness, I hardly can remember things in my youth, I can recall some thoughts about my few years ago but can't tell a lot about me then. If awareness was unchanging why I couldn't remember all of my existence? Or I just mix everything and misunderstand what you want to tell me :)
Hi Burt! Are you married now? In my observation, really great spiritual teachers are single like ramana maharshi, jesus, shirdi sai baba etc. right???
Awareness is unchanging as i know it but i have never been awareness outside of this body. I am not convinced it is eternal, ultimately unchanging, but only unchanging for this body. This comes up every once in a while. Sometimes i know thinking about it is pointless and it's just there, but sometimes it just comes up and i get into this process of thoughts.
I don't think it is necessary to ponder that. In my case my mind has used spiritual beliefs (I am not a body, the world isnt real, I am eternal) to keep control.
Just allow what you think is true.. no.. allow what you KNOW is true!!! That sense of "I think I'd rather trust myself than what someone told me" is enough. That is, when you feel it in your heart as well as your mind.
Thank you so much, Burt. I still have one question though and it is this: How do I know wich clip follows the one I was looking at and listening to? As with this one it is a very obvious excerpt of a longer conversation/subject.
many Many thanks. haven't compleatly obliterated my fears of being a bad mix for people, but being fully aware of my silly grin spread ear to ear throughout your vids really help. sorry if i put you off.
The love you seek is you. How do you feel when you love anything at all? In that moment of 100% attention there is no ego and that's LOVE. It is through this egoless state that we discover the truth of our being.
So by needing the love In a state of'' in-neediness'' I will never find the love ,my believe system create the need for love from outside me, and this stop love flow?
Problem with open for love is that I do not believe that love is in me.?
Having problems with the concept of awareness. Sometimes I think I've felt the difference between awareness and thought, but it just feels like 'the mind being aware of itself' - Our brain being aware of itself.
After all, the evolution of humans seems to have grown as we have become more self-aware, especially as our understanding of our environment has expanded (continents, planets, galaxies, infinity etc.)
Dear fizzyfox, Your confusion is understandable and in my over 30 years of one-on-one practice this question keeps coming up. This is why I emphasize knowing the difference between thought and awareness. Please send for my free booklets on the subject (enclosing your email address).
You are the consciouss presence, when you listen impartially to a thought (any thought) you feel a distant awareness at first and it can grow stronger. That is who you are.
And,if I may share this, when I had "multiple sclerosis"attacks, it became clear that I was the sickness, with my encephalon as angry as a hornet, threatening to destroy my south-sea dream. So it's nice to hear the realisation confirmed again in the "retrospectoscope".
It is not that "I" Love Steve Winwood's songs... "I" Am Steve Winwood's Songs... excpet there is no "I"... only Awareness...

It does not imply a doing. You already ARE enlightened in a way. Just allow this moment to be as it is now..but dont make it happen, allow it.

My early happiness was related to this feeling of being aware of the "isness" of sun the back yard. God took a look again.
