At a recent Loch Kelly retreat I had a meaningful "aha" experience. It started during my Sunday morning meditation at home and intensified when I returned to the retreat. During the meditation I realized that awareness REALLY WANTS TO BE AWARE OF ITSELF. This concept is something that I had heard about from Adyashanti, Loch Kelly and others but this "aha" was an embodied experience of it. When I shifted my awareness to "being aware that I am the one who is aware" (i.e., being aware that I am awareness) I felt like I had come home. This felt right, peaceful, satisfying... As the experience intensified I did not even have to focus on anything in particular...I simply was the awareness.
Since the retreat it has required more effort to move my awareness to Itself but each time that I do the feeling of "being home" returns. I continue to practice shifting my awareness and learning to stay there for as long as possible.
I hope that my experience encourages you to keep doing your spiritual practices in order for Truth to show up in, as and through you!!!
