Our intrinsic Christ/Buddha nowness awareness awakened for me. It is our natural state of being.

Описание: I woke up and was lying in bed thinking about what nowness awareness means. As I laid there in bed, I was aware I heard the furnace fan come on. I was aware the fan even though it was sending out heat it also sent out a cool wind with it. I was aware my knees were drawn up to cause my calves to be up off the bed. I was aware both my hands were sitting on the inside of each thigh. I thought about I was not distracted by any of the senses I was aware of, I was just aware of them. Then I became aware the mind was thinking about thoughts about Dave’s small black shiatzu dog that followed him out his door, to the elevator and down the elevator out into the parking lot without him knowing it. When I became aware those thoughts were in my mind, I giggled because I did not go off with the thoughts. As soon as I recognized I was thinking about the sweet dog, the thoughts liberated.

As I write about these dog thoughts the mind was having, I realize once I became aware of the thoughts about the dog, I saw how I could consciously choose to think about them if I wanted to but I did not want to so I didn’t. I see one of the differences between being awake to what is going on with the six senses versus asleep to what is going on with the six senses, is that I, awakened nowness awareness, can consciously choose to be with one of the sense gates sensations - whether it be a sight, sound, thought, smell, taste, etc. versus just habitually following the senses being distracted by them with ordinary awareness unconsciously wandering off with them. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WHEN NOWNESS AWARENESS IS AWAKE, IT CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSES WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO AND SAY versus asleep awareness habitually reacts to the six senses.

As I write, this Dzogchen truth comes to me. Nowness Awareness is the authentic Buddha-Christ within. I realize what my true identity is – is nowness awareness. Nowness Awareness knows itself and is cognizant and creative at the same time. I stop to google the word cognizant and find this definition: “Having knowledge or being aware of.” That hits the nail on the head – the word cognizant clearly defines what awakened nowness awareness means. Being awake means your innate Christ/Buddha nowness awareness is awake and working where it is aware of itself and knows it is the creative power behind all creations. It is aware that it created all the forms and that its greatest creation is a human being with a heart-mind, a body and its six senses of mind, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Nowness Awareness is aware of its innate purity shows up as clearlight.
