Awareness Aware of Awareness

Recognising ourselves as human beings with a soul or spirit has rendered us a lot suffering.  When we see ourselves as individuals there is already an implication that we are all separated, each housed in a physical body which is distinctly different from one another.  There will always be labelling, categorisation and segregation.  There will always be you and me, your race and my race, your colour and my colour.  There will always be past, present and future.  Sages and ancient teachings have long reminded for thousands of years that we are in fact spiritual beings with a human body.  Or putting it in another way, we are actually conscious beings observing the human being we thought we were.  We are all part of the universal life force with complete awareness. The difference lie in what we choose to focus our awareness on.  When we choose to focus our awareness on external objects and events, we lose sight of what is happening within ourselves and naturally project our experiences and personalities onto the outer world.  Instead of being absorbed in the drama and even playing a role in it, let us bring our attention back to our inner landscape right in the present moment and without judgement.  We try to notice our thoughts, feelings and sensory experiences in an all-encompassing way.  Eventually, we can progress to rise above those responses and simply rest on the formless consciousness -- being aware of being aware.

There is only ONE consciousness, when we can reside in it and not anything else, we are merging with everything and everyone else where there can no more separation but only love.
