It is simple to observe that although there is a “talking mind” going on at the same time, there also a silent awareness that is more global and unfocused and operates automatically.  Contemplation or meditation that focuses attention on context rather than content facilitates moving one’s identity from the transient and volitional (thereby becoming personal) to the unchanging quality of awareness itself. This leads to the discovery that one is the field and not the specifics of the content.  This jump is a level of the Buddhist state of satori.

To transcend the linear to the nonlinear is the way of the mystic – the pathway of nonduality –- to realize the inner light of consciousness itself, the True Immortal Self.  Everyone trusts the inner sense of reality or capacity to “know” that underlies all experiencing and witnessing, no matter what the content.  The content of mind thinks, but only the nonlinear field “knows,” or how else would it be possible to know what is being thought?

Because everyone actually lives in the experiential at every moment, the Source of the capacity to know or experience is close at hand and is itself pristine. All human beings experience that they are continuously “experiencing,” no matter what the ever-changing content might be.

To look within for the actual source of love leads to the discovery of the Self.  Like the sun, the Self is ever present, unconditional, and not subject to thought, opinion, or attitude.  The Self can only love because that is its essence.  The love of the Self is not earned, deserved, or subject to limitation.  The Self is the source of life and the subjective awareness of existence…. It is beyond all dualities; there is no duality between the Self and existence.  The Unmanifest and Manifest are one and the same.  Consciousness may include content, or it may not.  By analogy, space is not dependent on the presence of planets or universes, yet it includes all of them.

Letting go greatly facilitates the power of affirmations.  An affirmation is a positive statement.  Its power is limited by the fact that, either consciously or unconsciously, we have multiple negative programs that are saying the very opposite thing to the affirmation.  You can discover this for yourself by noticing that, as you write affirmations, your mind comes up with, “Yeah, but…”  It is these “Yeah, buts…” that limit the power of the affirmation and reduce its effectiveness.  If you surrender the obstacles to the affirmation, you will notice a rapid increase in their effectiveness.

All things are in a state of silent rejoicing that their consciousness is an experience of Divinity.  Unique to all things is a still, ever-present gratitude that they have been granted the gift of experiencing the presence of God. This gratitude is the form in which worship is expressed. All that is created and has existence shares in reflecting the glory of God.
