Self Awareness

One must be constantly alert of one's own thoughts interjecting into the present moment thus interfering with awareness of the present.

Thoughts are made of the past. Past is gone and it was but is not real now. It can  not be living thing for it is dead. The future is but a modified past to project desires. Future can only be imagined with words and images of the past. It is not real either.

What is real must be present here at this moment.

When you are alert to see that thoughts arise in your mind at that moment thought vanishes and there is silence. In that silence there is total awareness. When that silence is not broken by another thought and one is fully aware of all that is here that is meditation.

In this choice-less observation and total awareness reveal what truth is. The truth, what is, is the unfolding of the constant new. In this creation self is dissolved which we call communion. Observer is the observed, it is inseparable one.

To be constantly alert of all the changes occurring and be to totally aware of all that is demand enormous energy. It is extremely arduous. One must be strong and not have waisted his energy to see the vastness of life in constant change.

The challenges are more difficult as we spend and waist much energy in process of living. The younger people less difficulty to cope with vastness of life for they are agile, flexible, inquisitive and full of energy.
