To be aware is simple to do but difficult to maintain. Just be aware of the inner and outside world at the same time, the two are really one.
It is easy to be aware of the outer world, just perceive what you are doing and where you are, be aware of the present moment.
By doing this you will see that you keep getting taken away from the present moment by thoughts, and that there are also feelings and sensations happening inside as well.
Self-observation
The awareness of present moment gets taken away or colored by what’s going on inside. Being aware of this is called self-observation.
There are different psychic parts inside where these states manifest, they are called centers, there are five of them and they are located in the fifth dimensional structure of the psyche. These centers are, intellect, sex, motor or movement, instinct and emotion.
You can observe the intellect, in thoughts and images in the mind, sex in the sexual organs, the motor center in the movements of the body, instinct throughout the body and emotions around the solar plexus.
The consciousness is what perceives, it is neutral and is the real you. The sense of self centeredness or me is actually different from the neutral consciousness and is not one constant self, it keeps changing and goes from one mood and state to another. What a person is keeps changing, as one state comes in and goes and then another comes in, the process repeating in an endless stream. This is because the psyche and the sense of me is divided into different psychic elements called egos that exist in the fifth dimension, there are huge numbers of them and they enter and leave a person, feeding from psychic energy. These psychic elements can be recognized as the different inner states of anger, fear, greed, lust, envy, etc. They manifest one at a time in one or more of the five centers. They are animalistic, they engulf consciousness making it dim and form the subconscious.
Being aware is not only perceiving the external world, but the inner one too, seeing which ego is manifesting in that moment.
When you are being aware, thoughts and images come and go, but observe any ego state that appears, and, if you can, get to clear awareness, so that you are aware without anything coloring or altering your awareness of the moment.
On the journey to enlightenment the ego states are gradually and slowly destroyed, leaving full, conscious awareness in which the spiritual within is fully present.
A life lived in Sleep is a Wasted Life
Whenever you do something, focus upon it, this keeps thoughts from wandering away and images from taking you into a daydream, where ego states take you away.
If you live daily life in a dream, you will be psychologically asleep, and will not allow consciousness, the spiritual part which you essentially are, to experience. A life lived in a daydream is at the mercy of ego states and the program of nature which controls its destiny.
In a life of sleep and dreams there is no meaningful change, only the passing of time.
You will live a life controlled by your subconscious, beyond your knowledge or understanding, like any animal programmed by nature. You will never be truly free.
Other people will be able to alter your inner states through their words, emotions, desires or actions and you will live at the mercy of the influence and tyranny of others.
Being Concentrated and Focused Upon Your Activities
When you focus upon the things you are doing, the mind is upon what is happening in the moment. If you are self-aware, consciousness perceives the external world through the physical body.
The problem is that the subconscious drives the mind away from what it’s upon. To pick up a cup your mind needs to direct your hand to do it. But if you are thinking of something else, that action will happen in an unconscious, mechanical way and you fall into the state of sleep. That is, the sleep of perception.
So what you need to do is to be aware of what you are doing, in this way the mind is focused and awareness is natural, alive, and part of daily living.
Awareness is not an idea about awareness, as it is not thought at all. Awareness allows you to feel life as its happening, as it is in perception that consciousness and all spiritual qualities are manifest.
Be aware, with the mind focused upon whatever you are doing at the time, be it planning, reading, walking, talking or any activity you do. Then your consciousness will wake up within each moment.
Understand that the mind is more than thought, it contains the totality of the brain and connects the essence with the interior and exterior worlds. The five centers and the five senses reach the essence through the mind.
The mind is a gift given to the beast so that it becomes man, few who are given the gift become men. No monad or inner Being is present within to connect to the mind, when the mind is occupied by a beast.
