Can you find where Awareness ends? No. Can you find where Awareness is evolving? No.

If you look at this.. that it is Awareness being aware that is knowing this.

Awareness, you know not where it comes from, you know not where it goes to and you know it doesn't evolve. If you look at this then look at life and its movement from the placeless place of being aware of being aware you now can see forms coming, you now can see forms going, you now can see forms evolving and moving, you now can see forms that are disappearing or collapsing, forms that are evolving and moving into a new place. You can also see forms that have not actually formed as yet but just like that moment, have to play this kind of game, when you were very young and the first thing that you tasted suddenly triggered a response of identity with form.

Now, what can take place instead of identifying with form no matter how much pleasure it apparently gives you in the belief that you are a form or of space or of time. As you sit quietly deeper and any belief system, you begin to see that you come from nowhere and you go to nowhere and you have no need to evolve. But everything that passes through, your Awareness grows, demonstrates what it is in your perception, evolves or falls away and passes away.

Somehow, all phenomena coming out of this unspeakable Awareness grows and evolves through Awareness being aware of being aware without identification with formed experience. Something incredible happens there. We call it Love. Love did not come from a somebody and does not come and go or pass away. Love does not come from space or time or forms of experience. Love is not beholding to any particular form of experience to be Itself, none whatsoever.

But those, and it's most of us, who get entangled with identification with phenomenal experience have built a body of distraction and illusion and we begin to believe as we build up this identity, identifying in other words with the phenomena that comes out of that that Awareness already is and we get distracted.. Awareness gets distracted into more and more and more and more forms of experience.. mental, emotional, sexual and so many different levels of identification. It's not so much the experience, it's the identification of experience.

When Awareness is simply still and aware that it's aware, then those beautiful geese flying in the sunset light that's so beautiful and red, those beautiful geese and the sunset are in Awareness fully felt, known, experienced as that that I am without any separation.

Do I Awareness, did I begin, do I end, do I evolve or does all that that begins and all that that ends, and all that that evolves, like intelligence for instance, does that not all come from and pass through What I Am?.. And is that not the delight of my Self for I Am The Self? So then the flower is me, the bee is me, it is all me, everything, whether seemingly through the mind positive or negative, nirvana or samsara, it's all What I Am. It is made of What I Am. 'I' am not coming, going or evolving but all that comes from Awareness and all returns to Awareness is the play of that that comes from the intimacy of What I Am. That movement is Love and it doesn't belong to anyone or anything. 1 May 2022
