Aware Living Café, January 6, 2024

There were 12 attendees for the entire 90  min. Zoom. The “Book of Life” themes were Listening and Learning, with full page readings from each. There were two kinds of listening discussed: listening casually, externally, through conditioned mind filters, and listening from aware observation of  this internal traffic, thereby seeing the filters and in so doing, actually hearing the whole of what is being said and perhaps responding appropriately. Learning too, was addressed and discussed as only occurring when one sees the prejudices in ‘already knowing’ and the need to be empty of opinions and conditioning that poses as knowing when in fact one does not know and there is no knower.

The session ended with discussion around the pointing that life is a living, changing, unknown that one may, in awareness,  move with harmoniously, if listened to and understood with an empty, freshened mind from moment to moment.
