25 Nov What’s before we know?
We’re so used to being in relation to the world from the identity of who we are.
Knowing what’s happening is filtered through our perceptions of the word, digested by thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
Take some time to inquire into that, noticing what happens if we take off that perceptual lens.
That gives us a great opening: to explore WHO is putting together this identity we call ourselves?
Wisdom traditions call this unborn awareness. We’re aware… but we’re not the perceptions.
This can be a little bit of a mind tangle, so relax even that.
Start with looking for what’s not there.
It might show up as blank.
Or empty.
Or a black space.
Use this as an inquiry. And see what you become aware of.
