Deep dives

Awareness leads to a fundamental shift from darkness to light

By focusing on the notion of 'I am only,' awareness emerges, transforming the mind's dullness and restlessness into lucid harmony. This subtle yet profound change from in-advergence to awareness alters both the observer and the observed. Insight into one's true nature is hindered by the mind's weakness and tendency to overlook subtleties in favor of the obvious.
