"When you are no longer absorbed in your melodrama but, instead, sit comfortably deep inside the seat of awareness, you will start to feel this flow of energy coming up from deep within...You don't have to get rid of loneliness; you just cease to be involved with it...Awareness does not fight; awareness releases. Awareness is simply aware while everything in the universe parades before it." (T.U.S., p. 87).
Ahhhhh this sounds so nice! Just to sit back and watch the play of life, allowing Spirit's energy to pour into and through you. I think this would be very freeing...decisions would be based on love not fear...one would see with clarity instead of allowing anxiety, resentment, jealousy, inadequacy to run one's life. Although letting go of the personal sense of self or ego seems like a lot to give up, there is clearly a lot more to gain.
I see in my own life how easy it is to get drawn into the melodrama. It happens in an instant. It seems the best way to avoid this trap is to keep my awareness on the Observer Self at all times, not just after the fall but even before it happens. Sometimes I think of the Observer as being a second set of eyes in the back of my head looking forward, seeing through my human eyes but detached from them. My Observer Self watching my human self do its thing. That set of eyes see without judgment. They are non-critical...accepting.
Practice today seeing through the eyes of detachment.
