Being Aware of Awareness Itself is The Key

From The Giving Self book, Chapter 9


Many Miracle Self readers are asking for a further explanation of what awareness of Spirit is... what I mean by being aware of the "happening" of Spirit within.

The Awareness You are... the finished kingdom... the completely and utterly fulfilled You that you are... means the actual aliveness, or consciousness, or perception, or observing-ness, or cognizant-ness, or alertness-ness you are aware OF things WITH.

It is not some THING we are aware OF, but the actual alive awareness Itself... the "aliveness" that is the awareness that looks or thinks "out" and becomes aware OF some THING or some CONDITION.

Maybe this makes it clearer:

Let’s say your room is 100% dark. No light at all. You get a torch, switch it on, and suddenly light is shining forth. NEXT, that light "sees" (shines ON) an object in your room... a table, a chair, a picture, a door.

Here we have TWO "happenings" going on: The LIGHT is one happening; the THINGS the light "sees" (shines ON) is another happening.

The pure Awareness You Are is like the pure LIGHT. It is the actual consciousness that you see WITH, but it is not the seen thing. It is the LIGHT that "sees" (shines ON) the THINGS. So, when I say "keep attention on Awareness Itself" it is the same as saying "keep attention on the LIGHT ITSELF", rather than on the THINGS the light shines ON.

Awareness is not the thinking OF any THING or any CONDITION or SITUATION... It is the "LIGHT" you see things, conditions or situations WITH.

You are aware of - conscious of ("alive" to) - these words. But it’s not the words that Awareness is, it is the Awareness that makes it possible for you to be aware OF the words. It is BEFORE the words... It is the very Awareness Itself... Pure, uncontaminated by any THING or any THOUGHT.

Awareness is BEFORE THOUGHT and BEFORE any THING or SITUATION thought can "attach" itself TO or ON, because it is the very Awareness that makes it possible for you to be aware that you are having a thought, or seeing an object, or hearing a sound, or tasting a flavor, or touching a surface, or smelling an aroma.

That very Awareness Itself is the Infinity of Spirit... the WHOLE of the Infinite BEING you, now. That is the I AM THAT I AM... the One, invisible Awareness that is the One Infinite Self... The One Infinite Allness... the One Self-Complete and Self-Fulfilled, incorporeal Being YOU ARE in every way, here and now.

Even simpler: You ARE, and your entire world IS, the One Invisible Awareness Itself... the absolute Silence of Being, simply BEING conscious.

Awareness Itself is the Miracle that You Are, and your entire world is. It is the great demonstration you have been searching for, and all this time it has, every minute, been right with you, BEING You... It is your very own Awareness Itself.

AS YOU KEEP ATTENTION ON THE ONE AWARENESS ITSELF, and BE the Silent Self (effortlessly resting in the Silence of the One Awareness You are for AT LEAST two to 3 or 4 hours in every 24, simply, effortlessly LETTING the One Awareness know ITSELF as You) you are BEING The Miracle Self. You are achieving what you've been trying to achieve all this time. You are BEING the demonstration of infinite harmony, love, life and abundance Itself.

How? By simply, effortlessly sitting IN the very infinitude of Awareness You are, Itself... sitting IN the Silence... LETTING It BE Itself without you (your mind) interfering by "thinking" or fearing or scheming.

Then, that invisible Awareness Itself appears everywhere, and as everything, every person, every activity and every condition in your projected "outer" world of business, students, money, family, friends, home, car, opportunity... absolutely everything everywhere "shines forth" AS a greater, more bountiful, and more spontaneous appearance of PURE love, life, success, abundance, satisfaction, pleasure and joy because Awareness is the ONLY presence, ONLY substance, ONLY form... even though the mind experiences it as, and names it, material, tangible, physical.

Do you see now? Does this make it clearer?
