'Awareness' Articles
People are not what they think they are, but what they think … they are. Your individual awareness is like a body, and most people are down right anorexic on this level.
We don’t act only when the body acts. That’s not when an event begins and we are not the product of events that we have experienced. We are the producer of our experience. Your actions start before the event horizon of your body. Your actions are not predestined, but they are pre-chosen. Eventually, you can begin to see the core self. It’s a fluctuation energy, sort of like fire, and the airwaves or air currents moving through your core are what give rise to your impulses. You can control the flue.
“The world is not a problem; the problem is your unawareness” Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Indian Spiritual leader, 1931-1990)
“I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.” Billie Jean King (American Tennis Player b.1943)
“Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted; then old categories of experience are called into question and revised.” Shoshana Zuboff
Self And Relationship
Individual awareness. Most people usually have a pretty firm conviction that they have it, but if you ask them who they are, can they list anything other than a set of relationships or activities? I’m a wife, a daughter, a sister… No, I guess you can’t. People even fight to establish their individuality in the face of these circumstances. They resent being the wife or husband, sister or brother. They resent what it supposedly means about them. Parents typically express shame at the behaviour of their children, something they themselves didn’t personally do. Even the loner is alone because they… Seek More
Producer Of Our Experience
Have you much experience of yourself when you aren’t doing anything? If so, what is that like for you? I think a lot. Thinking counts as doing something so it blocks out individual awareness. Does the self go away when you aren’t busy being yourself? When I’m not doing anything? I think even when I’m dead, I’m doing something. My soul is floating about somewhere. You are being something or you are doing something. They don’t differ functionally, but they do differ organizationally and have long term functional impact. My teacher told us to sit and watch strong emotions, so I did… Seek More
Control The Flue
Everyone familiar at least in passing with biofeedback? It’s using the mind to alter the body functions. People think things happen to them, like sustaining a paper cut. That is something that happened to them, but our mental body dictates what our physical body tells us. They are even training people to use the hologram of the nerves, that would have corresponded to a missing arm, to move a prosthetic arm. Is that like someone saying they caught food poisoning and then you feel sick thinking you also caught something? That does relate to it. Hypochondria. Some people get addicted… Seek More
Read The Road Signs
Your inner awareness establishes what seem like rules. Even the most wild person still has repeating patterns in their lives. They don’t choose these patterns. The patterns come from the matrix of the self, or mind if your prefer. This matrix is configured not by outward pressures, but by principles perhaps unique to it. So “Who am I?” is answered by my actions and not my relationships? Yes, but your actions start before the event horizon of your body. Your actions are not predestined, but they are pre-chosen. Sort of like the principle of karma, but the karmic pattern is… Seek More
Big World Of Mind
Individual consciousness could also be called meta-cognition. Thinking is like the lungs. You can direct them, and they will work on their own. They can also serve as a vector for the induction of foreign substances. Whether that’s wise or not is another matter, but your thinking is a vector for the introduction of half developed energies. Any stimuli is an energy or you can’t have perceived it at all. Mental junk is airborne, but it’s avenues are sound and sight, even taste and touch. All of this will go on without us and has nothing to do with our… Seek More
