This one day, one moment, here and now showing up as the hereness, the subjectivity appearing as the various phenomena rolling through itself is all there is, the Self. Feel into that present state of awareness; if not for conscious awareness, the here and now would not appear. So, the actual you as the here and now is the non-changing, non-moving state of conscious awareness. The appearance of objectivity is passing through you the infinite field of subjectivity—the pure silent field of awareness, this singular presence of existence.
The appearance of phenomena passing through this singular field of awareness is the ever-changing appearance of relative consciousness. The non-moving, non-changing field of pure consciousness is not limited to the objective appearance, even though it may seem an integral part of the experience as a wholeness containing individual parts. This wholeness of knowledge is all there is; what appears is one singular vibration of consciousness. The immediacy of consciousness is an all-time reality; it is here, now, and present.
The shapeshifting of the ego/self claiming objective reality overshadows the immediacy of conscious awareness to be recognized in its infinite vast self. The immediacy of consciousness is always present at any stage of experience. Whether it be the everyday waking experience of seeking meaning and purpose in life, the deep samadhi state of meditation, or a divine state of lived reality, there is just one consciousness upholding all experience.
Human beings’ expressed consciousness is varied in scope and appreciation. The context of awareness, the backdrop to experience, is either known entirely or in gradations where, on one level, it seems non-existent. The other aspect of human consciousness expressed is the content of awareness—the mind, thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perception of the surroundings around oneself. In most cases, the content of awareness takes precedence over the context due to a misidentification of the ego/mind.
In the case of the ego/self, the limited mind looks for meaning and purpose through the activity of life. It unknowingly seeks full context to the why and what for the personal me as it navigates the here and now. It feels somewhat in control of actively searching for the better me. It will never find it because the ego/self and the faculty of intellect have been conditioned to look for things, and things have limitations; they are located with apparent substance.
As we naturally know, substance, or the physical world around us, is in constant flux, everchanging and evolving. Therefore, it is logical to assume that there is no actual external meaning or purpose to life except for the force and power of evolution. It is a movement of temporal, physical, and causal experiences in a linear time and space continuum.
The observer is an entity of any observed change at the moment of observation. Its range of possibilities defines it. There is the observer, the observation process, and the object observed. Modification occurs on all levels, shifting energies and modifying the observer, process, and object. Placing attention repeatedly on the same observation strengthens the modification to conditioning, adding up to a pattern of behavior or mode of perspective, which is the psychophysiological makeup of the observer.
A balance or stability must be maintained. Nothingness/something, right/wrong, high/low, black/white, etc. Duality in the context of separation will always maintain integrity as one perspective of reality in the evolution of consciousness. Pairs of opposites are meaningless in the unmanifest. They are in a state of potentiality, virtual reality as bits of unmanifest consciousness. All possibilities of imaginable concepts, the intention of emergence, primal intent to know itself. An inherent state of self-referral. These patterns or modes of consciousness make up our identity; they reveal the whole already there.
