80. Awareness

The future, left to itself merely repeats the past. Change can only happen now, never in the future.

Realization is not a new experience. It is the discovery of the timeless factor in every experience.

Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.

As a conscious self you are a part of nature. As awareness, you are beyond. Seeing nature as mere consciousness is awareness.

As an 'I am' you are the river, flowing between the banks of the body. But you are also the source and the ocean and the clouds in the sky.

Knowing is a reflection of your true nature along with being and loving. The knower and the known are added by the mind.

Science merely pushes back the frontiers of our ignorance.

Matter and mind are not separate, they are aspects of one energy.

Look at the mind as a function of matter and you have science; look at matter as the product of the mind and you have religion.

Matter is the shape, mind is the name. Together they make the world.

Pervading and transcending is Reality, pure being—awareness—bliss, your very essence.

It is you who are in movement and not time. Stop moving and time will cease.

It may mean that past and future do not matter any more.

It may also mean that all that happened and will happen becomes an open book to be read at will.

In reality nothing happens, there is no past nor future; all appears and nothing is.

The source is neither right nor wrong. Nor is desire by itself right or wrong. It is nothing but striving for happiness.

Having identified yourself with a speck of a body you feel lost and search desperately for the sense of fullness…you call happiness.

A speck in the eye makes you think you are blind. Wash it out and look.

The light is there—waiting. The eyes are there—ready. The darkness you see is but the shadow of the tiny speck.

Get rid of it and come back to your natural state.
