Awareness is the Core



Imagine...

Imagine accessing the core of creativity without doing a thing. No special meditations, prayers, fasting or rituals. The core of creativity doesn't require you to do a thing except be open to it. To be aware of awareness. It is the awareness that really sees, hears, feels, smells, tastes, understands and does. The cloak of identities that we wake up to each and everyday, is just the curtain hides the true awareness. The logical question arises: how do we become aware of awareness? The same way we accumulated the cloak of our identity except, in reverse.

Letting go...

Each and everyday, we accumulate more aspects to our manufactured identity. We manipulate what benefits us to fit our patchwork of identity. What if we could remove for a moment, that patchwork? To just set it aside. No thought, no I-ness, no me-ness. What would be left? Just awareness, the true enjoyer. This isn't adding yet another I-and-That relationship to feed offerings to and worship. This is connecting to the core where all thoughts come from. There's a multitude of methods to just let go which require you to wear a particular symbol, robe, hat or sit on a cushion. I'm talking about just letting everything go. Imagine that you've been missing from earth for a 1000 years and upon returning, there's no record or trace of you ever existing. Just let everything be as it is. Our minds love to attach items to this out of habit. You'll find almost immediately that it's your awareness that observes, hears, feels, tastes and smells. It's your awareness that understands. It's your awareness that manipulates the energy into form, the opportunities into action. Before we start to shape our life, we need to understand it's power source from a pragmatic experience. To understand pure awareness from within.

What now?

Just by taking our minds into a state of pure awareness. By, letting everything be as it really is; we begin to understand who and what is at the core of our being each and everyday. That eternal core that never dies, is always still and silent. And, is the true experiencer in our life.
