Regina’s Tip for Lesson 30
Pause for a moment and notice yourself.
Notice that you are aware.
Notice that you are present now.
Now, look at something near you.
Notice that it is in your awareness.
Notice that it is present now.
Look at something a little further away from you.
Notice that it is also in your awareness.
Notice it is also present now.
Look at an object that fairly distant from your body, possibly something out the window. Notice that it is in your awareness. It is in your awareness just like the object closer to you is in your awareness. They are equally in your awareness.
Notice that the fairly distant object is also present now.
Think of something that you’ve seen before that you cannot see now. Notice your thought about it is in your awareness, therefore it is in your awareness. You are aware of it now, aren’t you? Both what you see and what you think of is in your awareness. They are equally in your awareness.
Notice the object you are thinking of is present in your awareness now as a thought or as a mental image. In that way, it is present now.
Now, consider these statements:
Your mind is awareness.
Thought appears in mind.
Thought appears in awareness.
Notice these statements are true. Check them in your own experience.
Your mind is life-awareness.
You cannot separate your mind from life.
You cannot point and say, “Life is there and mind is here.” They are one. Notice these statements are true. Check them in your own experience.
Life-awareness is present now.
Thoughts about the past appear in life-awareness, but life-awareness is present now.
Thoughts about the future appear in life-awareness, but life-awareness is present now.
Notice these statements are true. Check them in your own experience.
