Awareness in people ranges
between those
who are oblivious of life,
to those
who are mindful
and fully involved in it.
Everyone
has a conscious awareness—it’s that part of you that observes
what you are thinking. When the conscious awareness is untrained, clear
observations and self-control are weak, and you have a tendency to be
controlled by the past. When your conscious awareness is used properly,
it illuminates the undefined parts of your mind. In other words, when
your conscious awareness is associated with your big mind—your spiritual
self—you are liberated, gaining the ability to move freely within
the overall framework of the mind. This freedom gives you the opportunity
to make decisions without resistance from the small mind’s old patterns
of thinking. Independent conscious awareness gives you the option to choose
which part of your mind to function from: the past conditioning of the
small mind or the immediate experience of the big mind.
Do you want to live a life based on patterns from your brain, or from
the perceptions of your big mind—perceptions free of influences?
Your conscious awareness is the first major reference point to become
aware of when practicing Kelee Meditation. It is important to be able
to calm your conscious awareness on command and to relax the brain. Learning
to relax your conscious awareness and detach from the clamoring of the
small mind are two very important mental disciplines to master. Relaxing
your conscious awareness through the brain network is highly therapeutic
for relieving mental stress and allows you to drop into deeper states
of meditation.
When your conscious awareness is detached from brain function, mindfulness
and enlightenment are sure to follow.
