"Expanding Awareness"

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜: Expanding awareness means moving beyond the narrow boundaries of the thinking mind and becoming "conscious" of the deeper reality within. It is the gradual shift from merely 'reacting' to life to "observing" it with 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚢, 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙: Cultivate stillness, observe your thoughts and emotions without immediately identifying with them, practise meditation or self-enquiry, and bring "mindful awareness" into ordinary moments. Instead of asking only, “What am I thinking or feeling?”, begin to ask, “𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨?”

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨: Old habits, fears, attachments, desires, judgments, and the constant noise of the mind can repeatedly pull awareness back into unconscious patterns.

In truth, the 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜 (𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚕) expands when it 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 its original nature, when it 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 the old and false identities, and overcomes the 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘢 (the great illusion). This is possible when we fix our mind to God, and do all our karma, being free from desires.
