Experiencing The Thread
of Awareness in Chaos
You can directly experience the thread of awareness. It is
the core event of awareness. Our emotions, consciousness, perceptions, memories, genetic
heritage, and responses are all built from and around this central core. You can perceive
it as clearly as you can perceive its derivations, like pain or joy or sight.
The objective of the exercises and experiments in The
Thread of Awareness is to move your conscious mind into a position to observe this core
event. This is the ultimate in recursive thought. Reflection of the deepest kind.
Observing the Thread of Awareness is similar to observing any deeply important part of
your mind. Like the experience of an orgasm, it can be nice, fabulous, or earth shaking.
You forget what it was like, exactly, afterwards. You don't always have one. It's easier
when things are all working in harmony and you are in good physical condition. And so on.
But it's not like an orgasm of the mind, I just used that as an example of how fickle and
yet exciting the experience can be.
It helps to do some warm up exercises first. Who knows, you
may try a sensory yawn and powee, there you have it. Some
people get it right away. Try the hand experiment, learn Richard's Three Step and the yin/yang walking adventure. When you do
the exercises you put yourself in the right situations to experience, at some level, the
Thread of Awareness.
