Turning the world inside out

[Guest guest]

You can see your own awareness. When you look at something, do you

see your own brain, with all its cells and stuff? Isn't the image you

see right now created in the brain? Who is aware of the images

created by your brain? That is concsiousness, isn't it? That is your

awareness.

 

Now, here comes the trick: The images you see created by your brain

is not actually the same as the present picture of your brain itself.

You see a computer screen, not your brain cells.

 

And, here is the flip: Your brain cells are parts of the world. You

are not a part of the world. You are what _sees_ the world.

 

So, now to the turning inside out stunt: Your consciousness, that

part of you that sees a computer screen and not brain cells, that

part is NOW.

 

But that didn't change anything, did it? For this trick to really

work you must meditate on the following: Your brain cells and the

rest of the world is the past. Your awareness is the only thing alive

NOW. The world exists INSIDE and is CREATED by your awareness. The

world is in you - you are not in the world.
