Awareness

   To have the right VIEW the right intention is of ultimate importance the view comes first, and is crucial. "The view" is the outlook that everything is primordially pure and perfect just as it is. The mind obscures the innate awareness, but by practice consciousness watching consciousness, awareness becomes strong and continuous, then attachment to objects or mind is less, thus there is nothing dual, separate or other than awareness. Intrinsic Awareness, mind is widely esteemed and much discussed, still it is not  understood, or misunderstood do to personal ideas and interpretationsand so do not perceive the reality in the present moment of the Now when mind remains in its own condition of awareness  without constructing anything If you look into yourself in  this way without any discursive thoughts, there is only this pure observing, there will be found a lucid clarity without   anyone being there who is the observer; only a naked manifest awareness is present, I call this "Pristine Awareness" it is empty and clear. All phenomena arises from the mind and when you look at your own mind, If there is no projectionist who projects thoughts by thinking them, then your mind will become lucidly clear; not conceived by the intellect and free of all conceptual limitations This is then a spontaneously perfect, universally creative, self-generating, majestic state of pure PRESENCE.


"What prevents the insight into one's true nature is the weakness and obtuseness of the mind and its tendency to skip the subtle and focus the gross only. When you follow my advice and try to keep your mind on the notion of "I am" only, you become fully aware of your mind and its vagaries. Awareness, being lucid harmony (satva) in action, dissolves dullness and quiets the restlessness of the mind, and gently but steadily changes its very substance. This change need not be spectacular; it may be hardly noticeable; yet it is a deep and fundamental shift from darkness into light, from inadvertence to awareness. For this, keep steadily in the focus of consciousness the only clue you have: your certainty of being. Be with it, play with it, ponder over it, delve deeply into it, till the shell of ignorance breaks open and you emerge into the realm of reality."

Each of the other four presides
over one of the cardinal
points of the compass: Akshobhya, Amoghasiddhi,, Amitabha, and Ratnasambhava.Vairochana serves as the central deity. Each of these Buddhas is also associated with one of the five afflictions
of the human personality:
1.confusion
2.pride
3.envy
3.hatred
4.and desire
Dzogchen basically deals with the innate intelligence or intrinsic awareness which all beings possess.
from: Longchenpa: "Look nakedly at whatever appears at the moment it appears. Know the state of pure and total presence (awareness) to be a vast expanse without center or border. It is everywhere the same, without acceptance and rejection. Blend the nature of mind and it's habit patterns into nonduality.

*ADVAITA, means: "not two"
(recommends the same as Swami) There are two Nirvikalpas:
the internal:
the mind completely merges in the inmost Being and is aware of nothing else the external: the mind is absorbed in the Self, the sense of world still prevails without a reaction from within.
When the external and the internal Nirvikalpa are realised as identical, the ultimate goal, Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi is been reached.
The Path of Sri Ramana: Self-inquiry that is more like Self-attention or awareness watching awareness being awareness. "The only true and full awareness is awareness of awareness. Till awareness is awareness of itself, it knows no peace at all." "Is it not because you are yourself awareness that you now perceive this universe? If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself as Guru. Automatically the "your" (and me and mine) will drop off and it will be obvious that awareness watching awareness is really awareness abiding in or being awareness.

"No one ever becomes a Buddha. One simple stops imagining that they are something else."
"Remember we are all Buddhas. You are all Buddhas There is nothing you need to achieve. Just open your eyes."
Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

    The notion of Godman, or woman as understood in India; a form of bhakti-yoga (devotional) is difficult to comprehend by the western mind. After years of practicing yoga and studying the sacred writings as well the studies of higher states of consciousness by psychiatrist, transpersonal psychologist. Pandits argue the legitimacy of experiences during meditation, or any religious altered states: saying, that visions are culturally bound, thus indicating, that the content of one's experiences may be unconscious projections and all experiences are transitory and are phenomena.
The advaitan beive, that the right understanding is expressed by the whole Being.

I value meditation and that is what gave me the right understanding. I didn't find a better technique than Surat Shabd Meditation and to stay mindful: do self-introspection [vichara] those be fully aware and have elevated sense of ethics and refinement of character. I know from experience that Sant Mat Meditation which is to focus attention on the inner Light at the third-eye and to the inner Sound from above: when we attache our attention to this transcending sound-vibration; power of Om. It is a natural method and it is easily attune ourselves to it.
The Sant Mat doctrine needs updating to be fully appreciated and practiced by modern societies, but since it is a natural, primal and an easy technique of meditation I've full faith in the prevailing of the Surat Shabd Yoga and hope it will be taught widely as a tool to elevate consciousness gain right understanding and inner peace. I value my initiation into the inner Sound and Light the most among all the teachings I received during my lifetme and feel gratitude toward Sant Thakar Singh for initiating me to the inner realms, today my guru is the Sound and Light current itself. Quotes in his book the Gospel of Love: "Love is God and God is love" and the title of His organisation named Know Thyself as Soul Foundation sums up His belief, that first and outmost we should strive to know ourselves as soul, which is One with all and in all.

This thought to know the Self brought me to Ramana Maharsi and to the Gaia's Non-Dualist thought
Ramana's method of Self-inquiry leads to be one to be Self-actualized and to the Realization, that we all share life's condition: AWARENESS, and can live sharing a compassionate, existance.

To hold light in the Heart and keep connected to others with universal compassion and universal goodwill.
