These questions are not designed to be answered with the mind. They are intended to invite exploration into the questions, to the experiential answer. They are intended to invite attention to explore its Source of Awareness and become familiar with it. In other words, we want to explore the nature of Awareness with our attention.  Am I aware? What does it feel like to be aware? What does the experience of just being aware feel like? Is there a stillness here? Is there a sense of peace here? Is there a sense of just being aware here? Is there a sense of aliveness here? Is there a sense of existing here? What is it that’s aware of all that? Is this aware stillness what I am? Am I just Awareness? Is this person I call “me” just an experience in Awareness? What is it like to just be Awareness? Does this Awareness feel contained by the body, or is the body contained by Awareness? Does this Awareness have a location, or is it everywhere? Does this Awareness have any limits, or is it infinite? Does this Awareness come and go, or is it ever-present? Does this Awareness ever move, or is it always Here? Does this Awareness have any preferences, or is it all accepting? What is it like to just be aware? What is it like to know yourself as Awareness?

Real Truth Matters Podcast Michael Durham Walking and communion with God are not automatic. How then do you experience the reality of a personal relationship with God, or read your Bible and experience God’s presence? Put simply, how do you know God? These are huge questions that need serious discussion. Every Tuesday, Michael Durham of Real Truth Matters Ministries will lead in such a conversation. This podcast tackles the experiential side of Christianity with teaching, interviews, and question and answer episodes. If you want to grow in fellowship with God in the biblical manner known by the orthodox and sound men of God of the old paths, then tune in each week to the Real Truth Matters Podcast. D/n Dawit Muluneh, PhD - ዲያቆን ዳዊት ሙሉነህ Dawit Muluneh Based on the book “I Need Answers” D/N Dawit explores each topic of his book in depth with his listeners. Whether you are just beginning your journey into the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church or have long been a member but are looking for answers to your questions about the church, "I Need Answers" is for you. Although the answers are gathered from Church fathers and holy books, the style of writing provides clear answers to complicated questions.
