Wakefulness
Despertar
A gentle invitation to notice the quiet awareness that is always present, already at ease, and closer than anything you could search for.
Wakefulness
Noticing the knowing
Just notice.
Notice the knowing, knowing the seeing.
There's something knowing what is happening.
It's formless.
It's nowhere.
It's everywhere.
It's so close, so intimate, it cannot be found, can't really be named.
But it's here. It's you.
It has no beginning, no ending.
It's what knows time.
It's what knows light.
When there is light, it's light knowing itself.
When there is sound, it's sound knowing itself.
When there are thoughts, it's knowing itself.
When there is nothing, it's emptiness knowing itself.
Always here
If you do nothing, it's here.
If you do something, it's here.
If you struggle, it's here.
If you don't struggle, it's here.
You can't create it, you can't end it.
It appears to be located in the body, it appears to be bound, emerging from thought.
It is wakefulness.
It is already at ease right now.
All you need to do is notice that peacefulness.
The knowing that is at ease
It is here.
The mind says it's not.
The body says it's not.
That which knows the turmoil is at ease: the knowing, the wakefulness.
It can be glimpsed, overlooked, forgotten, but it's always here.
No conditions, depending on nothing.
Turning toward the source
The mind tends to turn experience into things, solid objects, things with beginning and ending.
Everything comes from something.
What is the source?
Who am I? What am I?
You're trying to find something.
Notice that which is looking.
Softness and acceptance
This knowing is soft.
It's loving.
It's always here.
The absolute acceptance for everything.
It's already here.
Welcome the welcoming.
Accept the accepting.
Love the loving.
It's all already here.
Trust and discover.
Everything is awake
Everything is awake.
Let everything be inside.
Sounds are inside.
Sensations are inside.
The appearance of the world, inside.
So close, so intimate.
Just experiment. Let the heart lead.
Always now, now, now.
No other time, no other place.
