What is Self? » Mukti http://whatisself.com Exploration of a timeless question through art & writing Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:16:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Mukti http://whatisself.com/2009/12/11/mukti/ http://whatisself.com/2009/12/11/mukti/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:13:16 +0000 Lanell http://whatisself.com/?p=829 “Often in spirituality, there are teachings that assert the need to focus atention on given objects of perception. You may have been taught to focus your attention on a goal, a mantra, your breath, the third eye, the hara, or on sensation, but it is the very assertion of focus and the assertion of the focuser, the “me,” that keeps you forever at a seeming distance from the root of attention: your Self as pure Awareness.

In your natural state as Oneness, there is no need to focus in order to discover yourself – any more than point A can know itself by focusing on point B. Point A can only know itself by letting all focus, attention, and searching subside back to its origin.

This is an open invitation for a simple resting, a return to the ground of being you have always know.
