There You Are

Two of my favorite people in the world, BigJoni and Garno The Great!

“Reality is perceived through your own body.”
-Vilmalakirti Sutra

Set aside some time each day—five or ten minutes, or perhaps twenty-five minutes—and rather than being a person with problems and desires, shift your standpoint to be the awareness of what is happening. 

Without caring about anything that you perceive, just be quietly aware of the of the feeling of being aware. Abiding as that, you are the silent witness of experience. 

With dedicated practice, you may realize that being the witness is a lot more fun than being a person.

When you know you are silent, or, when self-aware, there you are.

“The Self cannot experience its knowingness without the help of the body.
-Nisardadatta Maharaj
