The Self cannot leave You. Awareness cannot leave You. Everything else will leave You. But Awareness is what You Are.
Blessed is the mind that jumps over and beyond its own conditioning and lands again into its natural state of unmoving awareness.
A thought may arise: 'It's okay now, but it's going to be different when I step out the door'. Already you are anticipating your downfall. Recognise these as just thoughts. You can just watch them, feel their pull yet observe them as a movement in consciousness. Stay put as formless awareness.
If you sit down and just keep quiet...you are in the state of Self-Awareness. ..keeping quiet means being without any techniques, effort or intention to meditate...not following the thought stream...not pursuing the senses, no imagination...such an intense Self-focusing comes without any effort...then, by itself...out of nowhere, wisdom and insights come.
Observe and gradually you will come to see that all existence is occurring in empty awareness.
You are the light of consciousness and also the witness of this light. You are pure awareness.
