Okay. Ready to play? Insight number four is …

the world exists in you

When you dream, you appear to be a dream-persona in a dreamworld, but actually you are awareness, and the dreamworld exists within you. In the same way, right now you appear to be a person in the life-dream, but actually you are awareness, and the life-dream exists within you.

Let’s look …

Right now you are experiencing your thoughts and the world of the senses.

Do you agree?

We usually think of our thoughts as existing within awareness and the world as existing independently of awareness.

But is that right?

If you pay attention to what is happening right now, you will see that you experience the world as a series of sensations: visual images, tactile feelings, background sounds, ambient aromas.

And sensations exist within awareness, don’t they?

Everything you are aware of exists within awareness, otherwise you wouldn’t be aware of it!

So what is awareness?

Awareness isn’t something within your experience. It is an emptiness that contains all you are experiencing.

That’s right, isn’t it?

Become conscious of yourself as a spacious emptiness within which everything you are experiencing right now exists.

These printed words you are reading on this page exist within awareness.

These ideas reverberating in your mind exist within awareness.

All you see and hear and touch and imagine exists within awareness.

Your body exists within awareness.

The world exists within awareness.

You may appear to be a physical body in the world, but actually you are awareness and the world exists in you.

If that comes as a shock, there’s more.

You don’t exist in time!

Look for yourself right now.

Time is the perpetual flow of ever-changing appearances, which awareness witnesses.

Time exists within awareness.

Awareness is outside of time.

You are timeless awareness dreaming itself to be a person in time. Far out!

Are you suffering from philosophical vertigo?

Well, stay steady, because our fifth insight is a very big idea indeed… .
