FINE-TUNING AWARENESS

Whenever energy signals are transmitted (eg. TV), there are actually two sets of energies working together. One is the set of signals that translate into what we see and hear; the second is a "carrier wave", a signal that carries the first set through the ether to its destinations.

I have a hunch that something similar is happening further up the frequency scale, in the arena of thoughts and feelings.Underlying what we think and feel at the level of ego, I'm aware of something else going on . Flowing through the coarser elements of emotions, thoughts, ideas and events, there is a finer energy that is of immense help in accessing deeper levels of inner and outer space. I choose to call this finer energy Pure Awareness. I get the feeling that this Pure Awareness is close to what underpins and energises the whole of life.

See if you can sense it. While you find yourself emoting and intellect-ing, try "sensing into" the heavier elements of what's going on in your experience, "feeling into" the languaging. Open up and respond to the finer energy that coincides with it . Open yourself up to resonate with it.

It is this finer energy within Self that connects and engages our inner spirit with the outer, coarser experience, and makes it OK. This is the connection that dissolves the separation between "subject" and "object". This finer carrier-energy is the common link, unifying  the universe within to the outer universe that we formerly thought of as separate and objective. Once we "sense" into it, we find there is no separation between inner and outer; they aren't even two sides of the one coin, they are one singular expression of a governing ThoughtForce that embraces everything and rejects nothing. This ThoughtForce is the "I" that has no "Not-I"; the "Me" that has no "Not-Me"".

Direct, uncensored experience of whatever is signified by words like "life", "love" "energy", and "God" evokes a full-bodied feeling that engages every level of our Self. If what you're feeling isn't all-pervasive, if it doesn't blow your tiny mind and magnificent heart wide open, if there's the slightest hint of hold-back or contraction, then it ain't Love. It is a limited form of life and energy, and a narrowed-down experience of god-ness, but it ain't capital "L" Love.

When we hone our awareness and fine-tune it to All Awareness, life reality becomes a dance of energies from one end of the spectrum to the other, and beyond. Through these energies we are connected --
To all experience
And to each other.
All of it is available to us,
And everything we experience adds to it.

When energies sweep through us (as they are wont to do)
And we drop any temptation to resist that ebb and flow,
When we take our awareness into them, without judging them as either good or bad,
Heavier perceptions of being a victim of their effect on us begin to evaporate.
The more practice we give ourselves of diving naked into experience,
The more we become both the Lover and the Beloved of Life.
