Elements of Consciousness

Page 6

a new consciousness will arise Watchfulness involves the present moment right now and right here. Whether you are at work, at home, shopping, or on vaca on, you carry this moment with you. Whatever you are “doing,” it’s your mind that’s “doing” it, not you. Your mind is your “doing,” and every “doing” is always external and bombarded by thousands and thousands of sensual distrac ons. The present moment, the now, contains your “being.” This is always internal and lled with undisturbed s llness and calmness. Non-temporal, it’s also non-local, non-spa al, and owing. It is witnessing watchfulness.

Watch with awareness the en rety of a situa on. Whatever is happening, or whatever you are doing, just be alert, desireless, and in undistracted spaceless silence. Don’t become preoccupied with explana ons and expecta ons. Nobody can predict outcomes, since ul mately outcomes are sta c and can’t exist. Don’t par cipate in your observa ons. Through watchfulness, you will automa cally go beyond polari es and be in the state of witnessing. If you spread watchfulness throughout your day, a new consciousness will arise, and the whole of existence will rejoice.
