⁘ Living Awareness: Sublime awareness in practical life. Witnessing our conditions and liberations. Maintaining the plane of metacognition.
Slipped to Swamp — Inquiry Back to Awareness (LA001) ▸
- Damn! Slipped and fell again from a plane of clarity. Mere moments ago I was the calm witness of existence. What manner of magic is this? Why do I stumble and fall? What can I do to immunize myself — to not be pulled under? We enter the process of self-inquiry — both general and specific. Train yourself to remember — remember to ask the right questions!
