“BECOMING AWARE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS”

The mind (the “I,” or thought) tends to become engrossed in interpreting events and devising solutions for the people and the world it perceives as problematic.

In doing so, Beingness identifies with thoughts—such as “‘I’ am grasping reality” or “‘I’ have devised a solution for this problem”—and keeps its attention directed outward, unconsciously overlooking itself.

Alternatively, it harshly judges “my” words and (re)actions and becomes desperate to control them.

However, interpretations, the matters deemed problematic, the solutions for them, and even the narrative of “I” that supposedly needs controlling—all of these are merely thoughts; they are neither Beingness itself nor reality as it truly is.

Herein lie the causes and conditions that give rise to problems, suffering, and resistance against reality as it is.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

What needs to be realized is the fact that Beingness is “immersed in those thoughts.”

It is the fact that the narrative of “I”—constructed from experiences, memories, or unconscious projections—obscures awareness, the clarity of pure Beingneas, and even the very sensation of it.

In the moment awareness realizes this, the “I” is absence within that realization at all.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Although the “becoming aware” is incredibly simple, the reason it is so difficult to actually “become aware” of oneself is, in part, that identification with the narrative of “I” is accepted by (worldly) society as the norm.

Furthermore, this leads to a state of “darkness at the foot of the lighthouse” (a lack of Self-awareness), which inevitably reinforces the identification with the false self—the “I” and the “mine.”

However, these are not problems at all; on the contrary, it is precisely because of such obstacles that awareness—sooner or later—comes to turn its attention inward.

This very opportunity is a blessing.

In fact, neither a problematic reality nor a problematic “self” exists anywhere.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Do not try to derive all answers and solutions from a place of fear; do not simply swallow the words of sages (which involves unconscious interpretation) or memorize them; and do not rely on the mental image of “self.”

Instead, look deeper, depth of its own words and (re)actions—observe the facts alone, free from any judgment or preconception.

And realize that, even without intending to, awareness unconsciously views people and the world through the lens of interpretations and existing knowledge—through preconceptions.

Recognize that awareness is unconsciously identifying with that sense of being the “doer.”

In the moment of true insight, awareness effortlessly detaches from the narrative of “I” and aligns with Pure Beingness itself.

Abide in that stillness.

If awareness directly and immediately knows the fundamental nature of that stillness, it naturally moves away from the ego—the “I”(the unconscious)—and begins to make time, again and again, to experience it.

For even if it cannot be explained in words, awareness directly comes to know, even without knowledge—through universal wisdom—that this is the ultimate truth. (OM 🙏)
