The Direct Path: I Am Awareness By A Himalayan Mystic

Please sit comfortably.

Close your eyes.

Take three slow breaths.

And exhale extremely softly through your mouth.

Let the breath move naturally.

Shift attention from thoughts to the awareness that notices the thoughts.

You don't need to describe it.

Just rest as the one who is aware.

You are aware of this moment.

Even when there will be gaps between the thoughts,

And in those gaps there will be no thought to witness,

No content,

No commentary.

Just silent observation of this moment without the thinking involved.

As you are now,

Thoughts will appear.

Let them appear naturally.

And this awareness remains untouched.

This awareness gives the space for these thoughts to appear and disappear.

All experiences appear and disappear.

This empty space.

Notice that every thought arises in awareness and falls back into awareness.

You are not these thoughts which are appearing and disappearing.

Because every thought is different.

It's never the same.

But you remain the same here as awareness.

You are the space in which everything comes and goes.

Now repeat after me in your mind The mind in which everything appears.

In which everything appears.

Rest in this simple recognition.

This is just a reminder of what is already true.

Whether mind accepts it now or later,

That does not change the fact,

The truth.

You are the one who is aware right now.

And as awareness,

You are already free.

Only mind thinks otherwise.

But the good news is,

You are not the mind in the first place.

You are just dreaming as if you are this character which you are playing.

You can dream whatever you want,

But that would never change the fact,

The truth.

You are the awareness in which everything appears.

You are the awareness in which everything appears.
