5. A meeting with Randall Friend - part 2 *****

‘Who’ identifies awareness as a safety place or as anything at all?This is not a forum - so let’s not make it into one.

5. A meeting with Randall Friend - part 2 *****

What makes it possible for ‘you’ or anyone to make (these) distinctions between awareness and being? -Surely ‘awareness’ and ‘being’ does. Can you separate awareness from being with or without a concept? Being is just a word, same as awareness is just a word. What they refer to is the same-same. Awareness, Being, Presence, Conscious-ness are nothing but various aspects of THIS “One without a second” and THIS in essence is NO THING.
Chiseling our definitions in ’stone’ and hanging onto our ‘opinions’ is tantamount to ‘bondage of self’. Some teachers use the word Being, some use Awareness. It may be confusing to listen to more then one teacher. And arguing about Oneness is obviously useless.Can ‘you’ get out of this awareness of being? Can this knowing, this presence of knowing be negated? – that ever present indefinable presence of being-knowing is what we refer to as awareness.P.S. - Tony and Bob express their concepts about IT, so to speak.No right - no wrong - No concept is ever IT.

NO method, No practice, No room, No inside, No outside. There is NO Duality in Non Duality. There is Nothing simpler than NON-DUALITY.
