Note from the Field: To Clear Up, Follow Up
Fred,
I just wanted to thank you for the awakening/clarity session I had with you last week. It really did help bring things into greater focus & clarity. I can now understand why ongoing meetings and inquiry are important in keeping awakeness awake to itself!
I also had something I wanted to report to you, but forgot to mention during our session. This was a very brief experience that occurred about a week before our session. One evening, I had been watching some of your videos and came across one where you went through the “Standing As Awareness” exercise; I found that the exercise brought greater clarity.
The next day, as I was walking my dogs, I was contemplating being awareness and the concept of oneness. In that moment, there was suddenly an experience of intense bliss and a feeling of deep connection to everything. Although nothing I could see had changed, everything looked different in a way I can’t really explain. The experience only lasted maybe 40-45 minutes and for some reason I didn’t quite realize that I had had an experience until the next day. Very odd!
I’m planning on attending satsang this next Sunday (12/15). Thanks again!

Thanks, Jason. I think it’s very common to have these subtle experiences and miss them, or only see them in retrospect. Clearing really helps us see that they are popping up all the time. Which is great, because a missed spiritual experience is the same as ordinary consciousness. When we catch it – that’s being awake!
I look forward to seeing you in satsang.
