The Surprising Truth: Yourself as You've Never Seen it Before

Religion & Spirituality

The “pressing” issues and events of our daily life occupy our attention so much that very often we forget about the miracle of our human essence, about the Miracle of Consciousness.

Our culture concentrates our attention almost exclusively on the forms and shapes, so wherever we look, we only see objects: a table and chairs in the room, then our attention sweeps across all the other items of furniture. At the same time we disregard the ”emptiness”, the space that makes it possible to forms and shapes to exist at all. Similarly, if we examine our mind, we only take notice of its contents–forms and shapes: bodily sensations, emotions and thoughts, but not the conscious space in which the forms and shapes appear.

In our usual state of consciousness we stay submerged in the multitude of forms and shapes. In this state of consciousness we play the scenario of the film of our life. We look around and see objects that are desirable to us, we wish to possess them, and we also see objects that scare us and we want to stay away from those. We are carried away by the colourful, noisy and scented whirling of life, and we fully abandon ourselves in this whirlpool. In this ”troubled,” mind-dominated state our identity is determined by the beliefs, thoughts, emotions and feelings whirling in us, everything we have learnt in the course of our life. That is how the Miracle of Consciousness has sunk into oblivion, and it is now covered with the grey veil of ordinariness.

The Miracle of Consciousness remains there, shining in the background of the identities that are lost in the daily dreams of forms and shapes, in our vanished consciousness.
