Weekly Topic: Consciousness

From my friend and fellow student, Astha of the Toronto Center

Weekly Topic: Consciousness

Consciousness is pure joy. A love that arises out of Being Present. It is free from the constraints of the instinctive, moving, intellectual and emotional centers.

Consciousness is not functions. ─ The Teacher

Consciousness is awareness of yourself and the world around you. To BE.

Weekly Exercise

This week’s exercise is to do one thing at a time. If you are eating, eat; and try to taste the food that you are eating. If you are reading, just read. If you are listening, listen with all your attention. Doing two things or more at a time displaces presence.

One must measure one's life by consciousness. ─ The Teacher
