Exploring Awareness
Sunday, December 2, 2018
Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada

The Sunday afternoon session was attended by three explorers of the self. It began with an audio talk by Adyashanti in which he points to the fact that awareness and presence are always available if we just shift our attention from the objects of perception to that which is aware of them. In the acknowledgement of what is already here there can be a falling away of seeking and a coming to rest as stillness and silence of the mind. This state beyond duality is difficult to describe but can be directly known with a simple looking which does not require thought or analysis.
Following the audio, David led the group into a forty minute meditation investigating the nature of awareness in a number of ways, including looking without any labels or concepts about it. There was then a fairly short but interesting discussion of what was seen and experienced during the talk and guided meditation. The session was very much enjoyed and felt to be of value.
