The Conscious Awareness Experiment Day 3

This mind is a trickster. He makes me feel like i’m suffocating when I don’t let him express himself, when I’m in a state of awareness, and it’s not his time to speak. When he’s given the chance to speak, he’s silent. He just wants control!

Awareness is the only true transformation I have undergone. Many times I have said I would change my ways, that I would do things differently, but only through this awareness experience have I actually seen change.

Today, was the first day in my awareness experience that I was surrounded and interacting with others all day. The previous days, I’ve had the luxury to be in semi-seclusion. Thus, it was quiet an interesting day, in which I learned a lot about myself, and my mental and physical patterns.

Quiet a few times I found that I did not react as I normally would, automatically, because of awareness. My wife did something, that in an unaware, unconscious state would of triggered a very negative response, of me lashing out in anger. Being aware, I literally observed the reaction I would of had. I saw exactly what I would have done, in reaction to her actions.

Thankfully, I was fully aware at the moment, and the incident stopped there, because my consciousness, instead of my ego, was in control. Because of the awareness that I held, I didn’t not get angry or upset as usual, I did not lash out and make the incident bigger than it was. I simply observed it for what it was, and moved on to the next moment, with understanding, peace and love.

Awareness is truly liberation, the key to happiness and unlimited joy. Awareness is what it means to be filled with love and peace. Being aware in each moment, we are able to let go of that which just happened, in the last moment. It is only because of pain form the past or anxiety of the future, that we feel negative emotions. Being present in the present, puts an end to reference points which may cause pain and we get to enjoy life for what it is right now, in this moment.

Who Are You?

We’re often guided by the misconception that we are human beings who have occasional spiritual experiences, on contrary, we’re actually spritual beings having a human experience.

Ask yourself, who am I?

Are you your body?

You are not your body. Say you had to have your leg amputated, if you were your body, amputating your leg would make you less of a person. You wouldn’t be a whole person. We all know that physical disabilities don’t make a person any less. You’d still be you!

Are you your reputation and achievements?

If you hadn’t done what you’ve done in your life, would you not be you? If your college degree and your highly regard status were taken away from you, who would you be?

You cannot control your reputation. Your repuatation is what others think of you, you cannot be responsible for what others think of you, for you cannot control their thoughts! If you meet fifty people, you’ll have fifty different reputations.

All you should be concerned about is your character and conducting yourself in alignment with your values.

Your not your body, your not your reputation, you can change your name and still be the same person. So then who are you?

What is it that thinks these thoughts?

Sure your body is controlled by you brain, but what is it that instructs the brain?

Who are you?

Man’s Problem with Survival

Mankind needs a shift in consciousness. Those who make the shift and know how to live in harmony with the universe will over come this material world, and thus survive despite the destruction surrounding then.

It is human nature to make dreams come true. Thus we are uncomfortable in this “survival” mode. By trying to just survive, we’re actually causing the opposite effect and killing ourselves. Both, individually and as a species.

When we allow our dreams to manifest, then we will be alive. No longer dying with each moment spent wastefully in sorrow and stress.

By trying to just survive, we create a mentality of lack. We convince ourselves that if we don’t do certain things a certain way, we will not survive. We believe there is a shortage, so we take and hoard instead of giving. This is a destructive mentality. Your killing another, “cutting throat,” so you can survive. The next man is going to cut you for it and on and on.

Where can we possibly go with such a society? We can’t move, we get stuck in cycles and patterns of living that keep bringing us back full circle. We need to breakout of that cycle and create a straight line. Go off the path, think and live differently. Live intentionally! Create a better life for you and all those around you. Do this by striving to be your best in every area of your life. Give and help others find this way of living and in that you will find your happiness, joy and all that you’ve ever desired.
