Themes
Unified Field of Awareness - Soften Your Gaze - Widen Your Perspective - Dissolve Boundaries - Reject Specificity - Shut Off the Ego - Open Focus
The Journey
Where is your focus? Is it laser-trained on something specific, or straining to see? Soften your gaze - allow the focus of the mind to blur. Allow boundaries to dissolve, and embrace the view, both through the eyes and the mind, of the unified field of awareness.
​
✨What would it feel like to SOFTEN your focus? Or, shift it towards the entire horizon, or the peripheral?
✨What areas of your experience would benefit from you rejecting the need for certainty and specificity?
​✨How would you like to simply enjoy the ride without holding onto hyper-vigilance?
​
Fear makes us focus. Labeling makes us focus. The mind, in order to function in society, demands that we focus. We carefully differentiate ourselves as separate from other things. "My hand is different from this table, my face is different from the breeze sweeping across it." This is the most common misconception in all mankind!
​
Deliberately rejecting specificity and turning our gaze to a blur, both in the mind's vision and the eye's vision, switches off the ego. It can stop our clinging and our need for certainty, releasing and relaxing our grip and opening up a more expansive awareness. We can feel receptive and unified within a relaxed, panoramic viewpoint. This can be achieved materially, with our eyes, by looking at things we consider objects, and questioning the boundaries of these objects. We can also do it in the immaterial sense, in our minds, using breath work and meditation, to see passing thoughts and overkill emotions pass through AS the unified field. As we allow the totality of that unified field of awareness to be seen all at once, rather than sharply focusing on the individuation of objects, fears, or material separation, we can merge with the All.
​
Yes, the notion that we are each separate objects in space is a misconception! To prove this misconception wrong, paradoxically and ironically, let's turn to something specific - particle physics. Basic understanding of particles reveals a very interesting thought - we are really, mostly, empty space! Simply sit with that idea. We are clusters of matter that consist mostly of empty space, interacting with other clusters of different types of matter that are also mostly empty space. We're all made, at base level, of protons, neutrons, electrons, and empty space. Being present with that unusual notion can soften our focus - where are the boundaries, now?
​
This practice is an invitation - when we stop the ego or mind from taking over, we can see a broader perspective. Something wide, full, expansive, and even peaceful. Let it blur!
