Notice this is about shifting or giving attention away from "me" to immense sense of eternity, spaciousness, everylastingness which is always here. It is never absent from anything or anybody. It is not something that someone can give you. This awakeness within cannot be grasped by the mind or the form of the body. The point is what is occupying and moving through the HU-man body. You cannot get yourself out of the centre of being. Silence does this. Only in quiet can 'what is true in you' come to centre stage. The greatest obstacle are the "me"'s addictions- heroin, cocaine, alcohol, technology, trained to be addicted to approval, intensely addicted to approval, to seeking and being loved, to its ideas, its own thinking, opinions, for no particular reason. The mind pretends its something intelligent. We can give the mind things to do and soothe the ego. Love watches the withdrawl, the shifts from additction to addiction and knows no barriers.
Notice every moment is an opportunity to recognize how we come to see ourselves, others and the world, and how we separate from who we are. The lens we look through distorts or rejuvenates the light source. The physical body we live in is an amazing vehicle to experience time, space and the universe in ways that you cannot experience as Spirit. Every moment of your life in a body is full of potential. Its one thing to hear about possible truths but another to consciously tune in, decode your own life situations and remember the nature of it all. What if opportunity is knocking to uncover and obliterate all the lies and illusions that distort your reality? What if listening to intuition and synchronicities points to a completely new life? Everyone you meet is guide to being and radiating what is Real.
Notice discomfort (what doesn't taste right) comes up to the surface to be purged or let go. Let awareness do what it wants to do. It will be drawn into the feelings and experiences outside and then on the inside of the skin. The inward environment has things to listen to. If you get hijacked by a thought, make no effort to get rid of it, change, alter or control it. Deep listening is simply noticing things as they are. The more you relax, the more the spaciousness grows obvious. What you miss before stands out. Awareness loses fixation on things so to rest in its natural state. Thoughts, feelings, objects arise. Amidst all this, tune into what openness feels like. In this sense of opennness, every moment, awareness is present. We need not exert effort to grow more aware. Space itself is highly awake. Entities are not "aware." Awarness does not originate at any particular point. Awareness itself is already in a profound state of listening. It is open, not picking or choosing, judging, fearing or manipulating. It is simply being itself. As awareness happens, you are no longer in the trance of thought. See and feel for yourself what its like to be awareness. No answer exists to questions of how to get here. This is not about a goal, not about controlling thought or feeling. Awareness itself is not aiming to change you. Everything happens spontaneously. Its simply drawing you into True Nature.

Notice each stage of awakening invites letting go of versions of the old to embrace "the new." Every moment offers opportunities to release suffering and tune into deep Truth. Whatever we fear most is what we are meant to do. Growing confidence arises in natural radiance. Hope in possibilities can shift into trust and knowing all that is real. Going through the motions is worth it as we shift wholeheartedly into our authentic creative vision.
