Are you awakening?
When we talk about 'awakening', we use these two words, 'object consciousness' and 'space consciousness'.
What is 'object consciousness'?
This is thinking, opinion, sense, emotion.
Most of us are living in this condition where all conceptual consciousness are imbused in mental stream.
So, we never see anything as it is and perceive anything clearly.
And most importantly, there is never a sense of inner true, inner peace, spaciousness, joy, sense of aliveness, sense of connectedness with something that is deeper than your historical person.
It means we are completely unaware of possibility of realizing the other dimention of consciousness, which is not 'object consciousness' but 'space consciousness'.
Then, what is 'space consciousness'?
We can not define it because it is beyond concepts.
But we can know what 'space consciousness' is in this very monent by becoming aware of the gaps between words.
So, instead of being interested in words, we can be also interested in empty space between words.
Or, to be aware not only of the object in our room or office, the objects that make up the room, which confines and defines the room, that would be in the analogy, 'object consciousness', we are also aware of space in the room you are now.
Without space, that room doesn't exist.
So, space is prior to existence. which means space is prior to manifestation.
Something is in you and me, us that is prior to who you are, who I am, who we are as a person and personality.
How could we become aware of this space out of us, inside us, gaps of words?
There is NO how.
Because it's too SIMPLE for how quite simply there is alert of attention in us.
And this field of alert attention is aware of space between words.
Then we noice that slient space. It means in this brief moment of noticing or noticing the space of the room we are now, you are not thinking, you're just aware.
Just One thing of all spritualty, one most important thing.
The MOST important thing in our life is to connct with that depth dimention, space, 'space consciousness'.
