Awareness
Everything in existence, including (as a logical necessity) every creature and every ego-motivated human being, has its reality only as a manifestation of Infinite, Self-Aware Bliss. The goal of all striving cannot be anything but reabsorption into the Infinite Self.
Swami Kriyananda, Revelations of Christ, Crystal Clarity Publishers, Nevada City, CA, 2006
There is something which is aware in this present moment. It is prior to all thoughts, feelings and sensations of the body. What is it? What is that awareness which is aware now?
When you can quieten your mind, so that all thoughts cease from arising and you still remain conscious and alert, then you can recognise that without thoughts you are still present here and now. You recognise the ever-present awareness you are. You are obviously not your thoughts – you must be the awareness itself. That awareness is Consciousness itself – that awareness, that Consciousness, is your essential nature that is ever-present and continuous in all three states (waking, dream, sleep). Awareness always is. It is also the witness of all your activities, or inactivities, in each state. All states that you experience move in and out of awareness, but awareness remains unchanged by any state that appears in awareness. The truth of who you really are does not come and go. It is continuous, present before birth, throughout your life, and after death. Consciousness always is; it does not come into existence in time.
Being present means to be totally and unconditionally aware of your aliveness in the present moment. Consciousness asserts and proves that you are not the doer or enjoyer, but that you are always the witnessing awareness, the knower.
