Simple Step for Cultivating Awareness Now

Metaphysical Mind #118

Dear Reader,

Today, in this very moment of your life, I have a few concepts and suggestions to share with you, my family.

Let us imagine that humanity, as a collective species, is only one out of trillions of cells that make up an enormous living organism known as Earth. Furthermore, let us envision that Earth is a single molecule surrounded by space, so physically small in comparison that it is literally beyond comprehension.

This analogy shows how subjective our physical reality may be.

Space itself is a vast, complex interconnected field.

Although we have only advanced in scientifically understanding one dimension of this multidimensional Mystery/Existence, we have shown that even this single aspect of All-That-Is—space-time—is quite astounding. I encourage you to imagine what could be beyond physical "reality."

In the current state of humanity, this can be difficult...we must first learn to trust the process of life: treating each and every moment as an unfolding. Let go of expectations, and know that only the best will happen for you. This will bring out the best in you, better than even you imagined.

Refuse to live as a fully-automated robot!

You are of Divine Origin and nothing can ever change that.

Release old thoughts that no longer serve you.

Cultivate awareness now.

Awareness means completely loosing yourself in whatever activity you are engaging in. When you are truly aware, there is no more “you.” You become lost in the action or state of being.

If you are swimming or walking with awareness, you become one with your surroundings, you are fully absorbed by the activity; there is no you, there is only the nature surrounding you. Other common examples include getting lost in meditation or becoming the movement when performing some kind of physical activity.

True awareness is a state of mind beyond thinking. You become separated from your thoughts, and this allows you to become fully present. Awareness unlocks one’s full potential and is the key to spiritual transformation.

The moment you stop thinking and allow awareness into your experience, you will feel true ecstasy and oneness with All. As such, you may find that awareness is quite addictive. Importantly, this motivates one to experience more awareness through a continuous journey of cultivating awareness daily.

Cultivating awareness is so ridiculously simple that most humans struggle with it. Effortful approaches are not effective, as one cannot try to become aware.

Instead, practice humility and simplify your waking reality.

You must willingly let go of everything that is not you.

Here are five simple steps to help you bring awareness into every aspect of your life:

1. Meditate Daily

For at least ten-fifteen minutes a day, it is advisable to sit (or lie) down with your spine straight. During this time, simply “watch” your thoughts. Do not sit and think! Instead, carefully observe the structure and content of each thought.

Bringing awareness towards a thought is an effective way to push that thought “out” of your mind.

If you practice this mindful state of empty attentiveness for a long time, you will eventually experience no thoughts whatsoever during your daily meditation.

2. Live Fully

Once you have experienced the state of mindful awareness (basically thoughtlessness), then it is easier to bring this awareness into your everyday, waking life.

It is essential for you to bring awareness, or at least properties of it, to everything you do as a human.

3. Be Easy

Do not be hard on yourself. You are learning to wake up!

This may be the greatest achievement in your life. Therefore, you have every reason to express deep love for yourself.

You cannot fail in cultivating awareness. Fully accept where you are right now.

4. Be Present

Presence is the single most important property of awareness. Maintaining conscious awareness of the present moment may be difficult at first but it becomes easier with practice.

So, practice right now...

5. Know/Love Yourself

Recognize that you are so much more than your bulky thoughts.

When you come from a place of awareness, you have unlimited potential.

Shed your robotic armor and live now; remember, something will be lost if you change your life. Keep in mind that, without exception, change is always for the better.

Lose yourself,

Jason
