Abiding as Awareness peace is seen.
Abiding as Awareness peace is felt.
Abiding as Awareness peace is heard.
Abiding as Awareness peace is the nature of experience.
Peace is Awareness.
~*~
Unrest is duality.
Unrest is the movement of the mind not at rest, not peaceful.
Unrest is seeing what I don’t wish to see.
Unrest is feeling what I don’t want to feel.
Unrest is hearing what I don’t want to hear.
Unrest is the anxiety which arises from attachment to I.
~*~
Recognition is freedom from unrest, the peace of Awareness.
I am Awareness, Awareness is me.
Yet I am not Awareness but I am.
I am not Awareness when I think I am.
When I turn from thought, away from I, there is only what is aware of I.
Then, there is only Awareness, what I am.
~*~
Yet a subtle duality remains,
What I am not verses what I am.
Liberation is the freedom from even this primordial duality.
The transcendence of what is and what is not.
Awareness is not this or that.
Only to the mind does this distinction arise.
~*~
Awareness and what appears as Awareness are one
But the mind can’t process this unity, this non-duality.
If you can negate the body,
The senses,
The mind,
The memories,
The desires,
The self-assertion – the I,
Only Awareness remains…along with what manifests as the form of Awareness.
~*~
This primordial distinction, the first duality, the Logos
Only has reality, only has form…
In the mind.
This first principle, the first discernment only matters
If you think about it.
Once you see this there is no longer a problem,
What’s a problem if
It’s not thought about?
~*~
No avoidance of problems per say,
But recognition of the insubstantiability
Of thought.
Whether you think or not
There is Awareness,
And what arises as the form of Awareness.
Clinging to the thinking mind is like
Loving the ax that splits a log.
It may divide what is One,
But it can never separate woodness
From woodness.
~*~
Recognition of the substance of reality is
Freedom from the division of it.
The mind can never account for what can’t
Be distinguished from itself.
But awareness can be
Aware of itSelf.
Even now, as you think about Awareness,
It is perfectly aware of itSelf.
~*~
Let the mind think,
You are not the mind,
You are what is aware of the mind thinking.
As awareness there is no distinction.
Once there is abidance as Awareness you can see
That the mind is what you are…for it appears in you.
The recognition comes full circle.
But you can’t conceive this truth, because
You can’t think about it.
You must be Aware of it.
~*~
You are not this and not this,
You are Awareness,
Yet Awareness is
All of this,
All One of it.
You are alone…All One.
There is only this,
Thusness.

The above, whatever you want to call it (pointers, sharing, expression) arose within me, freehand like. I’ve been sick the last two days with a cold so I haven’t been capable of posting. A combination of fever, fatigue, and cold medicine most likely played a large part in what emerged in the above writing. It seemed to flow out so I’m not going to edit it. I don’t feel like editing anyway, must go to bed, lol. But hopefully it will make sense tomorrow when I wake up. If not, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be understood. Who’s understanding anyway? But I’ll leave any understanding to you, that is if you know who you are.
Namaste,
HD
