When Pure Consciousness Becomes A Self

Pure consciousness becomes a self when it becomes excited, claiming and becoming distracted. 

We become what we are not. This distinction is for individuals to recognise, as there are levels of understanding. We can function very well as decent humans as long as we do not lose recognition of inner peace, pure perception, pure awareness. Pure awareness is always present as it’s what we are, but it’s ignored in favour of something ‘interesting’.

We may think, “It’s far too difficult to sustain pure awareness!”

We are pure awareness, pure consciousness. When we forget that we are purity, clarity, uncontaminated awareness, we become something else – a self wrapped up in ideas.

We don’t need to constantly think, “I am pure”; that is a distraction in itself. It’s just a matter of being mindful, focusing awareness on the present moment – being one with the job in hand – and then returning to panoramic vision, pure awareness, pure consciousness.

We can pause throughout a job, just to reflect. When we turn on a light, look through a window, pick up a tool, walk through a doorway … we take a breath …

Pure consciousness becomes a self when it gets carried away.
