Keys of Awareness
Awareness is the key
to Personal Freedom
Your mind, through your thoughts, notions, and experience, has a tendency to filter your perception to coincide with what you already know. To learn, or to see, anything new, you will have to look with an openness, interest, or willingness, to take-in new information.
DIRECT AWARENESS is the ability to look directly at anything, or any situation, without thoughts, opinions, or preferences, getting in the way. This is to be open, and simply look, and be part of the observation process. Elsewhere this has been called "mindfulness', even though you are not using the mind 'in a thinking way'.
It may sound a bit strange, but by keeping your mind - actually your thoughts - out of it, you gain a different perspective. Everything is, and it doesn't need your opinion, or 'your view of things', to see it. Through simple observation, you enter into a relationship with the thing you look at, and an exchange of energy takes place. This will open your awareness.
Awareness is a continuous and expanding 'energy', and you can 'step into it' at any point through any of THE KEYS OF AWARENESS.

" There are other dimensions to your presence here, beyond physical and material involvements, and mental speculation or opinion. There is an energy or 'Wonder' that you can experience yourself. "
Seeing Wonder
" The Present Moment "
" THE KEYS OF AWARENESS ~ The Book of Wonder "
There is a warmth and comfort, like a sandy substance. This is the assurance of place and family, and the familiarity of time, occupation and human history. You expand your influence with this soft sandy effect that's spread across a sea of involvements. Beneath there is movement, in a space of reflective spinning, beyond thought, and the uncertainty of that dark crescent on the horizon. In this totality of the present moment is the joy and expression of being alive.
This leads to an appreciation of the turn of events, whether right or wrong, satisfying or unjust, as an acceptance of the present. There is a feeling of time and timelessness, of speed and calm, and being comfortable in your own heart. An acceptance that, in the vastness of uncertainty, you are here now, creating a permanence in the present moment.
Ready,
steady,
Go !
You know where you are going,
and it's all prepared for you.
Look !
Did you stop for a moment
to see where you are ?
A Strange case of Duration
A section of a large tree is displayed in a glass case in a museum, but we cannot see the tree for the wood. Here is the presence of a being whose existence far exceeds human life, but it has been 'categorised' so that we may comprehend it in terms of events in a linear presentation of time. At the centre we see the start, a long, long, long time ago, but now we are only at the centre of our own world.
Do we see our life in this way, and view our life as the passage of time in the lineage of events ? Perhaps it is not the tree that is in the case, but us, caught in a museum for presentation. Had it been understood and appreciated for what it was, there could have been the possibility of leaving it alive, leaving us the wonder of seeing it for ourselves, rather than looking at a history of events.
" The Seasons "
Being Present
" THE KEYS OF AWARENESS ~ The Book of Wonder "
Looking up into the canopy of tall trees, seeing the light filtering through the leaves coming down to Earth. The Earth moves on its axis creating the seasons, connecting you to this place and its’ changing seasons. For thousands of years, above us, the vastness of the heavens in the night sky exist beyond your earthly life. This is about seeing the wonder of your place in the scheme of things, and being at its centre.
At the centre
Areas of emptiness
contain substance
of what is truly here.
A sense of place.
" The Garden "
" THE KEYS OF AWARENESS ~ The Book of Wonder "
This is just one portion of a landscape of trees and rivers, or a view of an orchard in full bloom. This is a primordial Garden of Eden. Even though apparently deserted, here is richness and depth. The spiritual glow of nature is subdued and diverted by the downward triangle of a relaxed identity in the world. This downward triangle gives direction and allows things to come to fruition without effort. Stability is introduced, and we can now see movement and activity, and light, like seeing the stars by daylight. The scene is teeming with life. As soon as something comes into being, the timing of events happen according to the intangible world, and you can let things to come to fruition naturally. This is the “Garden of the Heart.”
Inside Out
There aren't any boundaries.
There is only you here, or there.
Awareness is a theme that runs
uninterrupted through time.
Hidden among
objects, places, and times,
are assumptions of being.
We have perceptions of what
we cannot say for sure.
" Expansion "
" THE KEYS OF AWARENESS ~ The Book of Wonder "
When you look, you push-out your view onto the world, trying to make sense of it, agreeing or disagreeing, and it's difficult to see without the reasons, facts, and your opinions. Your awareness is not confined by physical or mental parameters. It is free to move and expand in a space that is both physical and intangible. Your awareness can blend and become part of anything. As this happens you become part of an expanding universe without boundaries. Just look and listen to what is presented, for the world is constructed around your awareness, which can be surprising, and enlightening.
Outside In
You are never alone.
You are part of the scene.
Included.
Part of the whole.
" Lotus Light "
" THE KEYS OF AWARENESS ~ The Book of Wonder "
There is limitless, endless, space here. Beyond the drifting clouds, there is deeper stillness. This is the state of pure awareness, in which there is nothing else to do, or to correct. Here is balance and harmony. Through your sensitivity there is an acceptance, and a softening of your involved control, which allows you to occupy your own space. Acceptance is a state of openness, and the source of your being.
