- Awareness #advaita - For awareness can “contain” danger to the human, but it itself is not endangered. It is the space _within_ which thoughts of trouble arise, but it itself is untroubled. - In this knowing awareness, all things can be calmly accepted and observed - though awareness can do no other. It accepts all. Its brightness is only sometimes transiently obscured by the limited, human self, but it is never dimmed. - <mark>This recognition, once it is properly integrated, allows us to live a much lighter, happier human life. We can appreciate and enjoy our humanity, all the while understanding that it is not what we really are.</mark> Rather, we are that spacious, boundless “space” of Awareness, in which the human life plays out its drama. No need to grasp or hold onto that which is fleeting. We can enjoy it for what it is.
