There’s more to life than meets the mind. They are inseparable, as the seeing eye reflects the knowing light. The manifest and unmanifest belong together. In the manifest, we are mind and body, born in time and space, experiencing diversity of life. As pure awareness, we are the unmanifest, the unborn, never dying, timeless and formless. Therefore, the real nature of self is always perfect. We are pure awareness at centre, human in appearance. ‘The Origin of origins’.Ībiding in the very heart of humanity is the key to true happiness.
Self as awareness means we are the ground of all being. Awareness comes before any appearances and reveals that our true nature is the timelessness of all that is. Beyond the shores of our changing mind, body and senses, there is the light of awareness that never changes.Īwareness has neither magnitude nor form, yet we find contained in it the entire universe. Pure awareness is a natural state of peace and happiness that arises, not from being separate from the world, but being continuous with the whole.
Realising his true nature is pure awareness-the light that lights the world-he is free. It is only at the final hour that he discovers, in his heart, the key to spiritual freedom. He tussles with the lures and entrapments inside his mind. During a long and arduous journey through strange lands, he struggles to overcome his doubts, fears and superstitions.
The central character decides he must leave his familiar and established life and seek spiritual freedom. In John Bunyan’s classic tale, The Pilgrim’s Progress, we are given an allegorical description of a soul in search of purpose. The apparent mystery is our inability to perceive the obvious due to a conditioned mind which causes us to look in the wrong direction. There is nothing mysterious about the meaning of life. The meaning of life can never be found in any concept of mind, because this limits us inside a belief or idea which hides the key to true existence. Now voyager sail thou forth to seek and find. Awakening is recognising all appearances are illuminated from the light that shines in our heart. Pure awareness is an art that requires practice to quiet the surface of mind and still the moving waters of our emotional seas. Exploring the shores of human-beingness ever more deeply, we realise, "soul is the lighthouse-the light that guides us safely home." By simply experiencing ourselves without distraction of mind, we see through personal drama to our true nature. Voyager is an essential and inspirational work that conveys the inexpressible truth of existence, "we are pure awareness at centre, human in appearance." Each of the twenty-five chapters presents a voyage toward our inner, universal self, bringing a deeper and wider perspective along the way.
