So good. You are the best actually in doing this. Thank you

[@tonygiannetto8490]

These pointings are so profound n high! starting 8:10 the difference between thought n non-thought remain (Abide) so that thoughts dissolve by themselves neither rejecting or modifying (which give them a reality, identity n strengthens them) instead let it clear naturally, free of rejection or mental fabrication as the Bible says 'Looking away from all that distracts' 'Abide in Me for apart from Me you can do nothing' Jesus said

21:45 Am I paraphrasing correctly: "Awareness aware of awareness is awareness revealed to its depth"?

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Yes, to some degree that is correct. However, we have to be careful not to conceptualise Awareness as a thing, or an object, or as the true 'me' - or even grasp it as an idea or ideal we have about our True Nature and get stuck in a fixed view. Awareness being aware of Awareness is the portal that takes us beyond all grasping...eventually... "Live neither in the entanglements of outer things, nor in ideas or feelings of emptiness. Be serene and at one with things and erroneous views will disappear by themselves. When you try to stop activity to achieve quietude, your very effort fills you with activity. The more you talk and think about it the further you wander from the truth. So cease attachment to talking and thinking, and there is nothing you will not be able to know." - Seng-ts'an I so enjoyed your recent comment on being dizzy David!

@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you Jayasara 💕

[@onlymelodic109]

@@SamaneriJayasaraI am interveening again but... this is such a brilliant comment in so many ways... Conceptualizing awareness is like a thought process taking over it or somehow try to imitate it, where effort is being introduced and all the rest of it, and this brings the last conundrum of the day, can 2 thoughts run in parallel, at the same time? I think not, and that is maybe why we are only aware of a thought after it ends... Great quotes btw! Enjoy the weekend everyone and stay safe.

[@tonygiannetto8490]

this has been 'my' problem, conceptualizing Awareness as the true 'me' 'i' is always looking, grasping for an identity

[@onlymelodic109]

@@tonygiannetto8490 Same here. And I think the root cause for this desparate clinging must be fear..
