San Francisco, Peru.
I AM awake.
Attention is on my typing.
Now it is on my thoughts.
Now, my attention is in my memory,
Remembering a moment from the past.
Now, my attention is outside,
Listening to the sounds of amazon jungle night life.
Where my attention is at,
Is where my awareness is at.
The Human Species is special,
Because we have the capabilty of being
Self-Aware-
Aware of the Self.
Am I aware of my Self?
Not my Identity,
But my Self.
And, what is the Self?
Every time I leave the present moment,
I am not self-aware.
When I leave the present moment,
I am aware of that which has entered my awareness to distract me.
Which are usually automatic, reactive thoughts.
Which usualy are thoughts of the future,
Or of past events-
Which only exist within the mind,
And keeps me from being present.
This keeps my awareness on other things.
Instead of on my feelings, dreams, imagination, desires, and clarity.
My Awareness.
In each moment, am I present? or am I absent?
------------------------------------
Awareness.....
When something takes my awareness,
If only for a moment or two,
I have allowed my awareness to be taken.
What am I doing with my awareness?
Am I seeking drama, distraction, and entertainment?
