Hi guys...do you fancy the following observation?
On honing your focus in a one pointed manner. For example, watching the breath as it enters and exits the nose at a certain point. The mind is focused on what is happening, in a one pointed fashion, and not on thoughts 'about' what is happening. When the mind is busy with thought process or directing thought, as in prayer or in visualization, then the idea of being separate from what you are directing yourself from and toward, gets overlooked and gets acknowledged to be what you are. For example expressions like: “I pray. My consciousness. We are all one”. These are the types of identifications associated with actions, that are believed to be real when the thought ‘I am taking the action’ is believed to be the case. By just being still and knowing that I am/you are, instead of thinking I am doing it, without even realizing that that is what you are doing. The fact remains, that stillness is the mind like a mirror on which reflections come and go. Not a mirror that belongs to someone…just a mirror and no other, seeing that no separate other can appear apart from the reflection on the mirror. Since when has anything been separate from your awareness that you know of?. Since when was anyone aware of not being aware. Looking into this very moment it is obvious.
