Sparkle

Awareness is not a method or a practice. There are many yogic methods for removing stress from the system, removing blockages from the physical, pranic, emotional, and mental bodies. But these techniques can only cleanse the channels of consciousness; they cannot create, enhance, or "raise" consciousness itself. Awareness gently, silently explodes from pure existence, self-luminous, ever-expanding, boundless, perfectly whole and blissful. Awareness has no cause. No effort is made to acquire it. You may need to unblock your system here and there, but don't let anyone ever tell you that you need to get to a higher or more advanced level of consciousness.

If you are awake, and aware that you are awake, you hold infinity in your fingertips. Even nearer than that. Nearer than this breath, nearer than the next thought, nearer than the I of Am. The moment you awaken, you are infinite, you are pure, you are the divine Being. No matter who you have been in the past, no matter what you have done, no matter how impoverished or humble your status in the eyes of society, if you are aware this very moment, you possess the Pearl of great price, you have everything, your hold the entire cosmos in the sparkle of your eye. Repose in awareness.
