Mind Awareness Flashcards
Thinking mind Body mind = sense mind Knowing mind Energy mind - universal mind Universal consciousness Universal awareness
Experiencing knowing
When “conscious,” there is an experiencing of sight, sound, feeling, taste, and smell, as well as thinking and emotions. Notice closely that these all are sensations or body- mind activity. Sights, sounds, feelings, etc. and even thoughts— all would be noticeable, observable forms.

Body’s attention
Awareness’s attention
The body’s focusing did not alter Life’s capacity to be present and embrace even what appears as the entire universe. Use this example again right now. For a moment, put attention on the period at the end of this sentence. This is the focused, limited activity of the body, or the personal sense of “I.” Meanwhile, the capacity to be alive, aware, and also include the entire room hasn’t gone away. This is the unlimited presence of impersonal or infinite Life. Notice that the focusing of attention is capable of being directed from one single item to another.
Notice that the focusing activity of the body or personal I is just that— activity . It could be the focusing of the senses— a particular sight, a particular feeling— such as the feel of this book in the fingers. It could be the arising of a thought or an emotion— and focusing on that. It is as if attention goes to one small part of all experience— and that part is isolated or separated from the rest.
Another thing to notice about this focused activity of the body or personal I is that it always seems to move . Usually the movement is like a chain reaction. One sensation, thought or emotion is linked to another and another throughout the day. To focus on one thing, then the next, and the next, involves effort, energy of the body or personal I— as attention goes to each thought, feeling or sensation. Now notice an important difference. Feel the contrast between that energy movement with its constant flitting of attention— and the simple, free, effortless present- ness of all- embracing Life.
It doesn’t focus, separate, react, or see in parts. There is no effort because there is no focusing on any one part or single thing. There is no movement from one thing to another thing. As Life’s awareness, You are still, at ease. Notice what else seems to happen when focusing only on one specific item.
When the focused attention has zeroed in on that one small part of the whole view, it’s as if that part has been mentally divided from the rest. Suddenly, that one part is treated as separate. It’s the same when focusing on a body and calling it “me.”
That simple difference of focusing is the difference between being the whole of Life— or just a small part. The very act of thinking and focusing seems to mentally create a separate “you” that is superimposed on Life’s clear, whole, limitless awareness. And this thinking seems to be something separate from Life. This literally is the difference between being all of Life or taking on an assumption of being only one small part of Life. Notice that Life’s awareness itself never actually fails to be unlimited, free Life— even if some assumptions seem to be temporarily superimposed.
Notice that this un- focused ease of Life’s awareness is not seeking anything. It is not even seeking more of itself, or a higher state of consciousness! Life already is “at” itself. Notice that thinking is what always seems to be seeking, trying to get or attain. Thinking, by its very nature of constant movement, never is at ease. Notice the difference when the identification is different. If there is identification with thoughts, and an assumption that the thoughts are “you”— then “you” always are in movement, always seeking, always not at ease. As Life’s open,
Grab it and hold onto it with attention

I am consciousness. I am awareness.
How and why consciousness is not in the body.
Consciousness Itself is incapable of having been produced by a universe, a planet earth, a chemical or biological process, or any other thing one appears to be conscious of.
What is consciousness
Consciousness isn’t a word. It is literally the very “Substance” wherein all existing goes on. Consciousness is actively aware and alive as all Presence, the only real “Place” there is. It is the one, essential “Stuff” without which your everyday affairs and entire universe wouldn’t even appear to exist. The implications of this fact are so enormous, so thrilling, it’s indescribable.
Again, simply nothing exists beyond, or is greater than Consciousness, Awareness.

Of what you are what life is and how it works form and energy -physical self and emotional self.
What is the universe made of? What is the biological basis of consciousness?
God(it)(everything) is all about starting points.
Principle 1 You are not a passive receiver taking in a fixed, given reality. You are processing your experience at every second.
Principle 2 The reality you perceive comes from the experience you are processing.
Principle 3 The more self- aware you are, the more power you will have as a reality- maker.
God is reached by “going beyond,” which is the definition of transcending. There is no other way to get past the dead end where thinking stops being useful. Quiet awareness must step in. If it wants to, awareness is capable of going beyond the material and even the subtle world.
The transcendent world is a field of infinite possibilities. It is the starting point, the womb of creation. The subtle world brings a possibility to mind as an image. Something real is taking shape. The material world presents the result. A new thing or event is manifested.
When you are involved with physical objects and sensations, you inhabit the material world. The blanket label for this is normal .

Experiencing/knowing human experience of emotions, thinking, visual images, feelings of touch and taste and sound and smells
The important feature is density!
Another important feature of this machine is the element of density. Turn its control knob in one direction, and the projection becomes extremely dense and heavy; images of clouds, for example, can become as hard and dense as stone. Turn the knob to the other end of the spectrum and things become less dense, lighter, or more “ethereal”—a concrete sidewalk becomes wispy, like a cloud.
Effort is resistance

My frequency is my level of consciousness and energy. Consciousness and energy are the flips sides of the same coin. When one increases so does the other.
“Who am I? What is reality? How does life work?”

When form disappears there is nothing
When energy disappears there is stillness
When movement/effort disappears there is rest.
Object/event thought emotion
Form - nothing
Energy - stillness.

Rest awareness
Space is nothing
No movement is stillness
It doesn’t matter if it’s something seen visually, an item that’s touched or felt, a sound that’s heard, a smell, a taste—or even a thought or an emotion. Everything the human “mind” claims to experience always has a noticeable, observable form.
conversation—the functioning of the “human mind” generally is said to consist of the activity of the five senses, as well as the thinking and emotions that are related to what the senses sense. The term “mind” as used here does not mean the brain. The mind appears to involve processes—such as thinking, the experiencing of sensations, emotions, etc. The mind, or that which is mental, seems to be an activity, distinct from a brain which would be an organ of the body. As said earlier,
