This world suffers from a lack of awareness

Many of us might think that what makes this world cruel, savage or painful at times, comes from the actions people make.
Or other-times, from the random events that happen apparently chaotically, disturbing our life’s order and purpose.

Yet what I came to see recurrently, is that most of what makes this life on earth seemingly terrible is a crass lack of awareness.
More specifically: self awareness.

Awareness is like an energy source. Similar to a sun, Awareness is both energy and light.
Whatever we invest our awareness in, that thing grows and expands, becoming more and more visible, real, pregnant.
Whatever lacks awareness, that thing slowly witters and dies, like a plant without water or sunlight.

In the lack of our awareness, this world – similar to a place with no sunlight – becomes dark. And similar to a dark, un-attended place – soon this world becomes hunted by creatures that start to consume it.
Similar to how a dead body starts to be consumed by micro-organism that work to decompose it, in the lack of our awareness, our dead life starts to be consumed by dark creatures that work to consume it and thus: decompose it.
These consuming creatures only exist in darkness, meaning: wherever our conscious awareness is missing from.

Bringing back awareness into our human existence, into our mind, our soul, our body – means re-gaining the capacity for life to start making sense.

One way to bring awareness back into our human life is to rest our awareness within our body.
This is what has been referred to as “being still minded” or “staying in the present moment ” or “resting as awareness”.
This is when we consciously take our awareness from within the realm of our mind, and place our awareness within the realm of our body.
And we just remain there, silently within the body.

Within our Body, our Awareness is naturally still.

Bringing back awareness to our body, resting still within the life that happens “right here, right now”, seems the most simple technique.
Yet, paradoxically, during this present human condition, this simple and natural technique sometime can appear the most cumbersome and difficult. It requires effort at first to just rest and be, with zero other thought or emotion.

To allow our awareness to rejoin the life within our body. To re-feel everything that happens within our body, within our soul, within our body’s own mind.

Yet as cumbersome as it might seem at first, the rewards are shortly harvested.
Granted the light and energy of our Awareness, our Body starts to awaken to its true nature.
Our Body starts to remember itself, God, and everything else.

By bringing back Awareness to our Body, we are awaking a deep, primordial, forgotten knowledge – that was always there.
And with an awaken Body, mountains can start to move.

Hence.. will you listen to the call your body is making?
Will you hear this call?

Can you hear it when you look at a ray of sunshine, can you remember it from when you were a small child?
That sense of wonder, awe and surrender.
Will you take this journey up, into the world of non-remembrance?
