‘Awareness’ to know better…
by meditative - April 27th, 2020.Filed under: Insights for Mindful Intelligence.
This penetrating ‘light’ of awareness has the inherent ability to illuminate our patterns of mind when we can be still, relaxed, open, and focused with regular practice. In its refined state, it can generate a higher form of energy capable of penetrating and short-circuiting even the deeply ingrained patterns of thoughts, feelings, judgments, and convictions driving our reactionary (autonomic) tendencies.
The value of ‘sitting’ may be cultivated in our ability and willingness to engage and embrace these pattens of mind. To open up to them… to see them for what they are… to work with them in a ‘light’ without judgment… and to transform them with enlightened care and understanding. To know better is to first work skillfully with ‘what is’.
