Timeless Awareness

What does it mean to be aware? Are there levels of awareness? When one is aware is there movement of thought? To be aware means to be consciously in the present moment. One can be consciously aware of the moment and still be referencing thought or the known. Thought is the one who is reaching conclusions about the present moment. The one who is analysing in time through the subjective. One may be consciously aware and still be caught in the movement of time; past, present and future. In choiceless awareness there is a level of consciousness that is absent decision making but it may still be caught in time, in the movement of thought as the one who is suppressing the will to decide on what is choice and what is without choice.



There are those who have written about the present moment and being in the 'now'. But it still requires acknowledgement of a movement, of one who is seeking accomplishment within the ideal of the 'now' or 'present moment'. As long as there is an entity who is seeking a result there is the movement of thought which is time. Before one can realize the absolute moment that is absent the subjective self, one must understand the subtlety of one's conditioned consciousness.
Since one is always seeking self promotion and conformity to the ideal, one is caught in the consciousness of conditioned duality. That which is a separation of the activity of awareness and the one who is aware. When one attempts to create a practice around an ideal, one is only exchanging one kind of conditioning for another. One cannot read a book or listen to a teacher who is saying do this or do that and you will find, without creating an ideal.


Only unconditioned consciousness can realize the truth of the moment. That which is the outcome of total freedom from the known, which is the self. The unconditioned is absent the movement of thought. It is the outcome of the realization of the true self, that which is the timeless. One needs to realize freedom that is not the result of a practice or psychological systematic response. Freedom then is the timeless, which is a mind that is still, but alert and responsive as that which is unconditioned. It is the mind that is intelligent and aware, but totally absent the movement of knowing, which is the naming of 'what is'. To be timelessly aware is to be aware through that which is the unconditioned. It is consciousness that is without the motivation of thought which is a mind that is caught in comparison and result.

How can one exist in the single dimension of the absolute moment? One must be totally free.
One lives the realization from moment to moment of the illusion of conditioned thought. One has complete understanding of the psychological implications of a mind that is caught in the movement of time. The outcome of which is the dissipation of self and of all opposition and conflict. It is the meditation of selflessness. Timeless awareness is meditation that is the full realization of the unconditioned. Meditation that is the illumination of death and of the experiencing of that which is beyond life and death.
