“THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THINKING AND THE AWARENESS”

Many spiritual seekers, in their attempts to self-realization, often misidentify The Awareness with other, merely second-hand thoughts like, “Yes, ‘I’ am seeing!’” or “I am consciousness.”

Because, in the conscious mind (which accounts for less than only 10% of consciousness), the mind (ego) is constantly monitoring itself to make sure that the ego does not do anything bad, and thereby, believing that the ego is under control. However, a fact is not only that monitoring is needed lots of efforts of the mind (ego), but on the contrary, the mind (ego, thoughts) conviniently does ignore that fact, and moreover, even claims that that surveillance monitor is “The Awareness.”

That is in fact one of the disguises used by the mind (ego) as a deception for survival.

In that way, without ever The Awareness truly awakening, the mind (ego) keeps clinging to mere thoughts, and claiming that “this is the truth.”

Realize what exactly is attempting to realize The Awareness (attempting is always by the doer).

Be aware of what the mind (ego, doer) is doing—that which claims to be you and you also identify with it, but is actually a baseless illusion, a mere collection of miscellaneous thoughts, interpretations, memories, and claiming owership of experiences, or etc.

The awakening of “The Awareness”can only come from “The Awareness” directly seeing through illusion.

That is never “you” you think of.

The moment The Awareness sees through the truth, the dream that the illusion of “you” has seen will crumble and come to an end, along with that “you.”

It’s when The Awareness becomes aware of the illusion of ‘I’ that The Awareness hadn’t realized until then, which that ‘I’ am living a life like a drama, at the mercy of all kinds of emotions, thoughts, and events and that ‘I’ must strive lots of things and improve ‘myself.’

It’s when The Awareness sees through its own identification with all the deceptions of thoughts of the mind (ego) which is a doer, that always desperately tries to understand all things in nature, the truth, only in heads.

It’s when The Awareness effortlessly surrender the illusion of pursuing all intentions, goals, and dreams of the mind (ego), by its clarity.

At that moment, “The Awareness” that has been quietly there all along becomes uncovered.

This is when a transformation that requires no effort whatsoever occurs due to dismantlement of identification (i.e., when the lies that one has unconsciously believed are peeled away), and “The Awareness” is no longer familiar to attachments or identification with “I” and “mine.” It happens so natural because of its transcendental recognition, awakening of The Awareness.

Therefore, if such natural transformation does not occur, for example, if the world you live in remains unchanged even after you think The Awareness has been awakened, then it is clearly a deception and a lie perpetrated by the mind (ego).

In that case, embrace what is, and let any thoughts, emotions, or memories appear and disappear as they are within the field of conscioisness, but do not chase them or indulge in them as real.

The Awareness requires none of those things to awaken.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Awakening is “now.”

It’s not about after working hard, or tomorrow.

It’s not a case of “If I can do XX, I’ll achieve it.”

It’s also not a case of “I can understand it because I was born into a privileged environment.”

It’s when you stop pursuing “it.”

It’s when you surrender the illusion of thinking you know “it.”

It’s when The Awareness realizes that this “I” “me” was a lie, an illusion.

Only then can the next chapter unfold.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Lastly.

No matter how the truth is expressed, many of us may keep clinging to the mind (ego) believing it to be The Awareness.

Or, only a few of The Awareness may suddenly, truly awaken.

This is because, without any exception, the whole universe, reality does never dividedly exist from the observer.

It’s just impermanence, and all things are always merely as they are.

On the other hand, indivisible Consciousness is never affected by any of them as infinite perfect wholeness, and The Awareness purely continues to witness everything that happens in the field of consciousness, including itself. (OM 🙏)
