How Do You Intuit?
Awareness is known through direct intuition, not mental inference—before thought can analyze 'I am aware,' you already are.
It is clear.
Is there any confusion about idenHty?
No.
All that I am saying, to the mind will look like nothing. When I ask a quesHon like this, the mind some of your mind may be screaming saying ‘Nothing, what is he saying?’ [Sangha Laughter] To your mind this may sound like make belief [Sangha Smiles]. So remember that not trying to squeeze our intuiHve insight into our heads, because into our heads it will only be ‘Oh, it's like so simple it can't be that’ or ‘Nothing, nothing, oh that nothing must be it then.’ But all of that is nonsense, either way that ‘Nothing is not it’ or ‘it is it’ - as long as it's only conceptual, it’s meaningless. And that is why I have given you a hammer as a tool that is the only hammer you need. Aeer explaining all of this when I ask you - Are you aware now? Where is that answer available? It is in that same space where you go to headless.. Where is that answer available? Is it a perceived answer? Is it a perceived answer? Are you aware? Do you see Awareness as a percepHon? Are you inferring it by saying ‘Oh, because there is percepHon of the world therefore I must be Aware’ that is not a process I want you to do. I mean if that is a process happening, it can happen, but I do not want you to rely on that. So answer faster before that inference can happen. Are you aware now? [Clicking of figures] Are you aware? [Clicking of figures] You are. (Nobody is aware. I am going to reHre.) [Smiles] So this Awareness is palpable before the (we have to use language but not really palpable)… but it is clear before you can start thinking ‘Is there a percepHon of the world? If there is percepHon therefore there must be Awareness and ‘I’ must be Aware’ before all that nonsense happens, you are just Aware. Where do you know that? Where do you intuit that? That is IntuiHon. Want to go to your IntuiHon ask yourself ‘Am I aware now?’ And do not conceptualize an answer. Can you see? That is the end of spirituality, in a good way. Are you Aware now? And it does not maZer what words escape your mouth, but your recogniHon confirming, the recogniHon confirmaHon comes from your IntuiHve-Insight. It does not maZer… your mind could be screaming ‘No, no, no, Aware, what Aware’ (it could be saying that) or it could be saying ‘Yes, yes, yes’ it doesn't maZer. There is a deeper insight which is unshaken by these mind voices. So trust that because that is your IntuiHve-Insight.
