"Become aware of being aware. Say or think I am and add nothing. Be mindful of the stillness that follows the "I am". Feel your presence " – Ramana Maharshi Ever since we were old enough to stand in front of a mirror the same being has been staring into the mirror. As the years roll by the image changes and the experiences build history and the mind accrues information. The looker has remained the same. The I that has experienced all of these myriad of experiences has remained the same. The I that has witnessed all of the mind’s thoughts has not changed one iota from all of these thoughts. Thoughts come and go, experiences come and go, physicality comes and goes but I, the experiencer, the looker, remains the same. This is the I Am. Culturally we are taught to identify with the thoughts, feelings, the body, i.e. the experience, when in reality we are the experiencer, the I Am, Awareness, Consciousness, that which always is. A shift in focus from what is being experienced to the experiencer that is witnessing the experiences creates a paradigm shift. I was walking down the street being aware of being aware when ‘my world’ exploded into pure Love and Absolute safety. Being aware of being aware, if practiced regularly, aligns one with the Truth of our Being, our Divinity, and takes one into a realm of silence/ peace/stillness and of living life intuitively. Living from this place naturally places one right in the present moment. Becoming identified with this I Am is freedom. The world can be experiencing all kinds of tribulations but one who is practicing being Awareness is in this world but not of it. Living in Awareness, from the I Am, is Grace.
I AM YOU
