Self-Inquiry and Witnessing · It Happens, No Self Asserted ▹

Witnessing and observing. Self-inquiry and self-awareness. Not a matter of your five senses. Not a shift to a third person perspective — like a game or an out-of-body experience. What we seek to witness and observe is the workings of awareness itself. Your entire cognitive process in all of its aspects. But please, none of these "I am the witness", "I am the observer" self-assertions. Not for you to land with an ultimate subject self. Just peeling away. ⛲Living Awareness ▹

It's all there — on your plate as the journey's tail. Witness all of life with eyes of wisdom. 🍃Have You Considered? ▹

The Zoom of Your Awareness · Peak Focus & Broad Relations ▹

Focal lengths of awareness. Narrow-band and broad-band. In terms of traditions of meditation: Concentration meditation, one-pointed singular attention. Then mindfulness, open awareness meditation. These are not something exclusive to the practice of meditation. Focal lengths of awareness are present in our everyday lives. At times your attention is in a tight zone. Then you step back and reflect on the situation as a whole. Recognize the spectrum of your attention. 🌰Kernel Talks ▹
