Staying Alive

Staying alive is staying open to all possibilities in the moment now. It’s not about carrying a load of information around, or being mindful; these are merely devices to remember to be aware.

Awareness itself needs no devices. Staying alive is experiencing the rawness of situations – pleasant and unpleasant – with no judgment in the first instant.

Going to where it’s peaceful and serene is an illusory fix that maintains an illusion. The real peace and serenity is pure consciousness. It’s what we are. Just pause and see.

When we dwell in our thoughts and ideas about those thoughts, we cause movement and agitation, and find no peace – just a dark fossilised place in our mind.

The moment of reality is … not knowing.
What?!

Exactly.
It’s empty cognisant space of what?!
