Inquiring into Awareness

from Question the Orthodox · host Trey Carland

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?
