LETTER FROM THE FIELD: One Week After Awakening
Just wanted to drop a note. Maybe it is because you and your books – and Adyashanti’s books, and so on – have warned me about oscillation or non-abiding awakeness, that I am where I am. I am not always “clear,” but I also never feel that “I” have lost “it”.
The best I can say is that this makes sense: If it took awareness/Oneness 50 years to wake up, Oneness may need to rub the sleep out of its eyes for a while. It’s is here and now – just needs to rub the sleepiness out of its eyes. Probably yawn, too.
Your Youtube video on Attention Practice is a great eye rub.
Another way: If I am thinking or feeling at all, I just ask myself “Who is feeling/thinking X.”
Is it okay to have to rub my eyes? Who is asking if it is ok? Eye rubbing is arising, what is, is – who is asking?
Should I try a different meditation practice? Who is asking?
That is my here and now.
