"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn." Henry David Thoreau
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change." Buddha
The closer to pure awareness we contact a thought the more energy and order it has. Contacting a thought at its inception is realizing perfection, free of disharmonious influence. Before learning Quantum Entrainment you will be guided through several exercises that will open your common awareness to pure awareness. You only need tread the path once and you will ever after be aware of pure awareness. It will be like wearing a warm jacket on a chilly day. Once you put it on it will stay there keeping you toasty warm. Even when you forget you are wearing your jacket it is still protecting you. Any time you wish, you can become aware that you are wearing your jacket. Likewise, once you have found pure awareness you only have to become aware of it to know it is still there with you. Are you ready to get started? Okay then, let's go.
Experience One: Stopping Thoughts
Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Now, pay attention to your thoughts. Just follow them wherever they may lead. Simply watch them come and go. After you have watched your thoughts for 5 to 10 seconds, ask yourself this question, and then be very alert to see what happens immediately after you ask. Here's the question: " Where will my next thought come from?"
What happened? Was there a short break in your thinking while you waited for the next thought? Did you notice a space, kind of a gap between the question and the next thought? Ok, now reread the instructions, and perform the exercise again. I'll wait...
There, did you notice a slight hesitation in your thinking, a pause between thoughts? If you were alert immediately after you asked the question, you will have noticed that your mind was just waiting for something to happen. Author of " The Power of Now" Eckhart Tolle says it is like a cat watching a mouse hole. You were awake, waiting, but there were no thoughts in that gap.You may have heard that it takes many years of arduous practice to clear the mind of thoughts, but you have just done it in a mater of seconds.
Please do this exercise several more times. You can use substitute questions like " What color will my next thought be?" or "What will my next thought smell like?" The question in not important, but paying attention is. Attention will expose the gap, the space between thoughts. This GAP is PURE AWARENESS. It may be fleeting, but it will be there. As you regularly become aware of this mental pause, it will begin to work its magic on you.
Now let's get back to work. Do this exercise for two to three minutes more, reintroducing the question every 15 seconds or so. Pay attention to the gap when it is there. Look for it when it is not. Within just a few minutes, you will notice that your thoughts are calmer and your body is more relaxed.
Why is that? You didn't set out to relax or become peaceful. It just happened naturally, without your trying. Why does becoming aware make such a big difference in the way we feel and behave? By being aware, you were able to contact your thoughts at subtler and more refined levels. Each level offers more order and energy. The gap you noticed between thoughts was the experience of no-experience I mentioned earlier. That non-experience was pure awareness.
