All is Awareness

What is experiencing Life through your form is Awareness. Look well, you are aware that there is a body, probably a room, a computer, and that there are probably thoughts and feelings that are what we call mind.

What knows of the presence of those things is you, you know that they are there because you are aware of them.

But if you try to define this you, unless you choose to pick on memories or on objects of which you are aware of (like saying, I am so and so, I have this body that is American, or British, etc etc) you cannot describe this you. In other words, what we call "me" is always a description of something that we are aware of, not of this Awareness in itself.

So the message is, you are Awareness, an Awareness that is aware of itself (or not aware of itself) through the form called so and so. When Awareness is not aware of itSelf believes to be the objects that itself is observing, like the body called Fred or Laura. When instead is aware of itself knows to be just what is witnessing those objects.

What are those objects? They appear IN this Awareness, and unless this Awareness is aware of them, they dont exist. This form called Shakti did not exist before it appeared for you, Awareness. This is what we mean when we say that you created me and all the rest. Because before I appear in your Awareness I simply dont exist. It is only AFTER I appeared that you can say, "yes of course Shakti comes from Italy, she has this past and so and so". So this means that all the objects, the apparent external ones like the body and the room and the inner ones, like thoughts and feelings, appear IN you Awareness, and they have been created by YOU Awareness. When you dont think a certain thought where is it that thought? It does not exists for you.
And this is valid also for all the rest, people, cars, objects, feelings, memories. So EVERYTHING is appearing in you and disappearing in you all the time. Also the "story" of the "me" is appearing and disappearing, the story of Fred, Laura, etc. What is ACTUALLY happening in the moment is that those thoughts, the story of the me, is appearing as all the other objects.

So all objectivity is nothing but a movement in Awareness, an action, something that appears and disappears. You dont have a body when you are in deep sleep, for you in that moment the body does not exist. The body appears in the moment in which Awareness becomes again aware of itself in the morning. This is the very opposite of what we believe. We believe to be a something in the body, or something IN the body called soul that is someway connected to something bigger like a higher Self or God.

The truth is that we are God. We are this Higher Self. But this Higher Swelf is trapped in the illusion to be in a form. When you look well, when you check where is this Awareness that is Aware of everything you canot find it. Everything is, but where are you respoect all those things? Check for yourself, I dont want you to believe what I am saying. There is no need to believe, I dont believe what I am writing I can see it, right now, as well as you can if you stop holding on to the idea to be a separated individual.

So all manifestation, being a movement of Awareness that is created by Awareness and disappers in Awareness, is nothing else than Awareness itself. This means that the body, the room, the thoughts, the feelings are nothing more than Awareness, Awareness experiencing Awareness. All is One.


If there is no individual, where is the free of the individual? There is what is, that is arising spontansouly and freely. The apparent decisions and choices of the body are witnessed by you
Awareness, included the ideas that there is a separated me performing them.


The choices are done, not as act of volition of the individual, but as an act of creation of God. So in a sense YOU, Awareness, are choosing everything. Not just what your body-mind does, but also the weather of the day, and the blowing of thw wind on the trees outside of the window. You dont choose that the wind is blowing before that the wind is blowing. It appears. You, Awareness, have created. But you have been creating it IN THE MOMENT, the Eternal moment, not before. There is no before. There is only now. And this Now is changing all the time, and it is observed by the same Now.

Being natural

It is only from the concept to be a separated entity that you can ask about being natural or artificial. You are always natural, spontanous even when there is the idea to be a confined in a body mind. Any action is infact performed ANYWAY by the Divine, even when the ignorance is present.

You cannot beocme natural, spontanous. Simply see that as an expression of the Divine even your neurosis are coming up spontanously. In fact for sure if you could decide about not having
them you would cancel them from your Life. They appear on their own until ignorance is present, and there is nothing that an imaginary you can do to destroy them.

Understanding this is of tremedous relief for a seeking mind and at the same time is totally scary for the concept to be a person. You are not in control, not even of your becoming more aware of what you are.
The seeking goes on by itself, as well as the egoic concept and all the erratic and neurotic movements of a body mind through which ignorance is still present.

What I mean is that EVERYTHING is Divine, even pollution, even falsehood. It is just our idea of God that doesnt allow one to see as everything as already totally perfect.

Concerning this thing of anger, I find it a bit strange. Is an emotional need action called "love" less natural than anger? No, even if it can be more sincere. One can live in reaction or ina so called double reaction, hiding anger behind a smile. But EVEN THAT will be
Divine. And perfect.

Love,

Seeking the Graal

You asked me what is really pure
In a world of masks the illusion endures
the do and the don’t, the good and the bad
immoral and moral until you will understand
that Truth is not in the objectivity realm
but in the eyes of who is observing the glare
of this play of Light that appears as Life
in that empty I the Graal you will find.
We are all like Percival seeking to quench
this unavoidable thirst for what has no end
something that lasts more than an eyelash beat
such is the length of life of the human being
after a while it is clear that is not
in money, in sex, in the right kind of work
not even in what religions declare
the paradise comes always after your death
not an easy place if you need a good rest
when you are tired to try to come to terms
with the world and yourself a never-ending quest
there is no solution that will manifest
but right here, right now where you stand
that purity watches the sinners and saints
uninvolved by both
this empty Awareness
it will witness it all.
