If one is to be intelligently aware that perpetual
awareness existed than one must therefore inferential the
difference of stillness awareness to a decision
awareness.
Can you explain what you mean by 'stillness awareness' and
'decision awareness' just so I don't misunderstand.
Decision awareness is thus a function of inference
of intelligent references of the "different awareness
experiences" so how does one know that the “universal
awareness” is also not one of the many references of awareness in
itself? and you actually are in the moment of "THE
Awareness" ?
A decision is a thought. The knowledge that led to the decision,
is also more thoughts and inference based on what you see and
heard. Thus what you mean by 'decision awareness' probably falls
under the category of what I call 'mind', which consists of
thoughts, knowledge, inference.
Thoughts are appearances that come and go and are manifested by
the impersonal and universal Awareness. Without this primordial
awareness, nothing could arise.
Thoughts come and go, but what you are as Universal Awareness is
ever-present. For example, one moment you may think you don't know
something. The next moment you suddenly figured things out, so now
you think 'I understand'. But both the thought of confusion and the
thought of 'I understand', and any other thoughts, are just
appearances that comes and goes from your awareness. Can you have a
thought without awareness? No thought can arise without
awareness.
Furthermore: if there is no thoughts at all at the moment, are
you still present and aware? Yes! Non-conceptual awareness does not
dependent on thoughts, but thoughts depend on awareness. In fact to
get a first glimpse of Pure Awareness, you have to silence your
mind and look into the gap between two thoughts. In that gap, ask
yourself/investigate/look into 'What am I?' or 'What is This?' That
lucid, luminous, clear cognizance and Presence that remains in the
absence of thought is what you are. If true realisation arise, no
doubts will remain as to your true identity, and self-inquiry is a
good way to realise this. But this lucid cognizance is present not
only during the absence of thoughts but during the presence of
thoughts as well, as the Pure Witnessing.
Hence the 'decision awareness' is not what I called 'Awareness'
- rather they are knowledge coming from inference. Your true
Essence as Awareness is non-conceptual, it simply reflects whatever
arise in your field of experience as it is. For example a thought
of confusion arise - it is reflected as it is. A thought 'I know'
comes, it is also reflected as it is. A mirror simply reflects
everything as it is.
if I follow of what you mention about “It is ever-present and
unmovable.” than there are only short statics of
silent awareness within the moment because every moment is a
intelligent decision to be aware of the slient awareness in order
to maintain “ever present and unmovable”
No, 'ever-present and unmovable' is not a state you achieve.
Rather it is pointing to an ever-present fact of awareness: You
never actually experience movement!
The reason you think you move, is because you identify yourself
with your mind and body. Thoughts and appearances come and go, but
Awareness itself has never moved! So you do not make Awareness stop
moving, you simply recognize/realise that it has Never
moved.
I've given an example previously:
Walking/Jogging/Running meditation
While jogging just now, I 'forgot' my mind and body. It
feels like I'm the still presence in which the world moves through.
Instead of being a body running on the road from here to there,
it's seen that I am the space that encompasses the whole world and
the whole world moves through me. I am not moving. The world is
moving through me.
It feels like you're running on the threadmill, you're not
actually moving! Except that the scenery moves through
you.
You can practice seeing this next time when you walk or jog.
This space of awareness is unmoving, whether or not the world is
moving.
Later I was reminded of this video http://www.headless.org/videos/still_point.htm
Does it also mean that universal awareness is thus
chain of many short statics awareness.
?
No, Awareness is not static, neither is it simply an experience
that comes and goes - it is immovable, ever-present, never lost,
yet dynamic, having the potential to manifest all forms.
Your mirror-like awareness has no limitations,
has no boundaries and edges
Explain to me what do you mean by the "mirror
concept of reflecting" it still need inteligent to
reflects....?
You are pure Presence, Clarity, Vitality, and Intelligence
already. The intelligence that is being talked about here is not
conceptual intelligence. It need not be developed - it is already
present as your true essence, it just needs to be
recognized/realized.
What I mean is the intelligence that even low IQ people
have.
For example, if you got poked, you immediately withdraw your
hand even without thinking. Why? Awareness.
As for the mirror: what it means is this.
Whether you are doing your own work, walking on the street,
paying attention to a conversation, etc. Yet if a dog nearby starts
barking, you will still hear it without your intention to do so!
The sound of dog barking is spontaneously manifested within that
field of Universal Awareness.
Your Awareness is like a mirror - it is capable of spontaneously
perceiving and manifesting everything on its own accord. Even if
you aren't paying particular attention to that object, it is still
being perceived! What perceives is not 'you' as a body-mind (the
body simply serves as a condition for that arising
experience, but is in itself insentient), it is not even 'your
attention' (your attention is a thought-form that amplifies on a
particular experience being perceived, but it is not what
perceives). Even if you are paying attention to your breathe, if
some dog barks or someone shouts at you, you'll still be aware
whether you want to or not.
Whether that something is considered pleasant or unpleasant,
Mirror-Like Awareness equally reflects What Is impartially without
prejudices or judgements. Judgements are after-thoughts arising due
to the egoic mind.
