There is awareness and there is that which awareness is aware of. Approaching the mirror of the present would then be to realize awareness itself. In awareness are thoughts about the past, but these thoughts are not the pure mirror of awareness itself. There is also a thought/feeling of 'I', but this is also an appearance in awareness and not a part of the pure mirror of awareness itself. Observe your thoughts and at the same time notice that the 'observer' of these thoughts is a thought-form itself. That which is aware of all this is awareness itself. There is no need to observe the observer observing the observer and so on... in an infinite regression. Just recognize that any form of 'I' as an observer is itself a thought-form. The changeless clean mirror of awareness is the field in which this observation happens, in which everything happens. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I agree The present acts as a mirror that shows the reality " within you " , and then, awareness arises as a pure mirror of all the phenomena.
