CONSCIOUSLY OBSERVING THOUGHTS

11/27/2021

The more we practise consciously observing thoughts, the more we become aware of thoughts and the more our unconscious beliefs and thought processes are drawn out into our conscious awareness.

Thoughts that may previously have been unconsciously identified with are then seen as objects arising in Awareness. A shift in consciousness takes place whereby it becomes evident that I Awareness am the subject perceiving the thoughts which are objects appearing and disappearing in me.

The more the thoughts are seen as impersonal objects, the more they are disidentified with; it's seen that the thoughts are not 'me' nor 'mine' and they start to lose their grip over us as identification with the conceptual self weakens.

Try this practice: sit in silence for a few moments and simply observe the thoughts that arise. Then enquire, who or what exactly is it that is aware of the thoughts? The thoughts are changing, coming and going, but that which is aware of the thoughts.... does that ever come, go or change?

Don't ponder these questions mentally, really investigate in your actual, direct experience.

How these things work... all orchestrated Back Stage.

I had just written this shortly after waking up, still in bed:

"Watching the mental and bodily activity,
that Who our true Being is may come to Life,
out of love for my soul and that of my neighbors."

Then a newsletter from Louise came in, and at the bottom of that she had written:

"How would your life be different if you didn't believe all your thoughts? What if you didn't even perceive those thoughts to be 'yours'?

Try this simple practice to disidentify from thoughts."

The words "this simple practice" were in blue as a link to the text on this page.

Might as well print what came up while I just laid in bed and typed out... set it on the little table next to the burning candle.

The one who knows the perceiver of thoughts , which are arising and vanishing, was always there . Also in dreamreality it is there knowing this person with which I am identified within the dream. There is no body nor thought to remember during deepsleep. Awareness can be only awareness without object. One can not ponder on awareness itself.

Thank you.
A few moments ago I had written something again, but did not print it yet.
Somehow this video appeared next:
"This Prayer Changed MY reality! Louise Kay"
(it was uploaded 9 months ago, The time of gestation.)

Right at the beginning Louise says that the "I" which is is aware of everything that changes and is coming and going is not changing and is always there,

That confirms what I had just written. (At least that's how it appears in this dream.)

Now God willing the experience will be of tapping the "Submit" button so this gets to appear here, see the body getting up, turn on the printer, place the print in a visible place, and return to the video.

Somehow we are all cooperating according to the will of our true Self. Divine Providence... as if seeing it before it occurs.
............
"Allow God, Who gave you His divine Self, to nakedly think and blindly feel 'I' as you.

As for rest: Just watch the human experience as the 'I' that is aware of it."

PS:
What appears as the second paragraph is:

"As for rest: ..."

Indeed it is for rest. But including that meaning now it says:

"As for the rest:
Unattached and without judgment just watch the human experience as the 'I' that is aware of it."
