Enjoy Your Presence when Conscious Awareness Rings
Here in step four of Snap Out of Thinking, you simply let this recognition of conscious, awake aware presence ring for a while. It rings for however long it rings, but you start to notice the space and freedom in that and sink into it, release into that for short whiles.
The truth is, this particular sense of being consciously present is a temporary state. It’s not the end-all be-all of spiritual practice.
It’s actually helping us to trust in that which lies beyond the presence or absence of this conscious self-awareness.
So it is that the practice of remaining in this sense of presence is rather like ringing a bell– you don’t slam your mallet down on the bell and hold it there.
You tap it lightly, and let it ring. Trust in it’s ringing. Experience and enjoy it’s ringing.
Everything else is taken care of by your awakening being.
