When there’s quiet awareness instead of what’s of the mind, there’s no engagement in what’s of the mind. This allows for a life that is much different than most people are use to…
Mind activity is very different than quiet awareness; the mind has a much different agenda than quietness. Every conflict known to mankind has been because of the mind. Even when Jesus trashed the market place, it was from the mind. The proof of this as the story goes was he didn’t like what was going on; you cannot have a conflict if there’s quiet awareness. You may ache at times as compassion comes from quiet awareness, but there’s an understanding from here that the mind just can’t grasp. Mind activity is strictly from the way one is conditioned. Quiet awareness arises from the space of stillness. I can tell right away when someone has an activated mind, it’s because there’s attachment.
Quiet awareness doesn’t make you smarter than anyone, all it means is you’ve been granted the ability to see the mind for what it is. It’s difficult to see from quietness because of all the mind based distractions in place. These distractions keeps you trapped to your mind activity. Reach all you want, quiet awareness needs no such reaching, it realizes its completeness as it is. When there’s quiet awareness you become more of an observer than a reactor, at least that’s been my experience. I’ve lived a mind based existence for many years. Even today the old conditioning tries to resurface, but because of quiet awareness there’s no engagement with the activity from the mind. This naturally allows quiet awareness to arise; when you live from here it makes for a life that’s much different than most people are use to…
