What you are not, that can be surrendered away.

DEAR ARIEL
may be as i tried to find out the difference between the two was as follows;
1]allowing the moment to be breaks ones habit of hitting the hammer(mind) against the natural flow of life.
2]Foccusing awareness on itself is an act of making detached yourself from external circumstances thus becoming unaffected from results,outcomes,experiences etc.This allows one to know ones true nature.

But then may be to be enlightened only the second exercise is necessary since the first one i.e allowing the now to be without resistance would be nothing but a direct effect of detaching yourself from circumstances and outcomes.
Would love to hear it from you
WITH LOVE aLWaYS

Find out for yourself. Thy’re two different parts to a larger whole. To find the difference in their dynamics, your own experience will be better than anything I could ever say.

DEAR ARIEL
I would like to know how is the process of focussing awareness on itself and allowing the moment without resistance different in their dynamics

@Lance: I’m really glad to hear that you’re going to actually put this into practice yourself. Words shouldn’t be taken at face value without experiential verification.

It is a state of flow, which comes on it's own when 'you' disappears enough to let it exist within. You cannot 'obtain', 'capture' or 'emulate' the flow. It is always there, ready to slip into your stream of consciousness whenever you are ready. But it's not a readyness that can be prepared for, it's something you let be, by being yourself, and honoring each and every moment, amen. Ants last blog post..Soul Type Quiz - Results

One thing that was realized recently was that awareness isn’t something “I” do or attain. It’s the true nature of what we are. It is only the false self which tries to experience something.

What I noticed in meditation was when I tried to “do” awareness, the mind would jump in and try to insert itself behind awareness and grab an identity as awareness, to think about awareness, and so on.

It almost seems like the process should be less forced than I initially realized, like it should arise naturally.

This is a powerful concept for me Ariel. I need to work with it during some quiet time, but initially it looks to be a great way to help me understand who I am. I think we have a lot of noise going on in our head, and this might be a real way to quiet the noise so we can really "hear" who we are. Lances last blog post..Dreams For Our World
