The Eternal

Beyond sleep and waking and subconscious, the awareness observes, hears, feels, smells, tastes, gastrates this life through this bodys senses.  The awareness produces each and every thought that occurs in "our" mind.  The silence between the thoughts is also produced by the awareness.  The space between the atoms within this body also is produced, maintained and destroyed by the awareness.  All of the meditations, prayers, contempations, rituals etc, amount to nothing because the awareness will remain aware whether we do anything or not.
The awareness continues as it has for eternity.  The awareness requires nothing of this body to remain aware.  So, what do "we" do?
When "we" turn our awareness back into the awareness, "we" connect our contrived self into the real.  Ramana Maharishi suggest we just ask: Who is asking, who am I?  I suggest we just wait and experience what happens.  Awareness will go where it wants to go.  It may focus on hearing, on listening.  Or it may move to taste or smell.  But let it be as it is going to be.  Just as it is!  For once, just let your awareness show itself to the "you" you've been creating.  The awareness is the creator, sustainer and changer in "your" life.  That awareness is what you've been looking for all of "your" life.  Hidden within you.  Behind the curtain of what you call you.  The moment you stop.  The moment you wait and expect the awareness to show itself, it will very simply.  Very innocently, very basically.  Then what?  Wait for it to show you something wonderful.  It will without fail.  It likes wonderful.
