“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”
In our daily lives most of us are focused on navigating around and among all our learned and conditioned thoughts and perceptions about experience. The thing we often don't see or pay attention to is the full field of awareness in which all experience appears and disappears.
We've been discussing how that full awake awareness is actually our true self for which we are so often in search. When we are able to recognize and live from our own aware being, we find that the primacy of our preoccupation with external objective experience will fade. When we release our mistaken belief that those objects will last or satisfy our need for peace and happiness, we will find rest simply and fully in the open awareness that has been there all along.
