Further more, awareness is the spaciousness of the ego. It is also what makes us percieve our life and reality itself beyond the ego’s reification of it. In its experience we begin to observe our own personal part of the content of the collective consciousness and its anesthetizing conditioning of the senses. This spaciousness which we are born with is what we become awaken by as we experience its content. By meditative absorbtion and by the enlightened intent that appears from the universal ground of being we become aware of it through our reactions to its presence in our consciousness. Consciousness is therefore naturally matured as it becomes expanded by the dualistic confrontation it has had with the collective consciosness and the contents of the universal ground. This develops our perception of the timeless awareness that permeates life itself. By it, we can observe the compulsory slavelike sufferings we endure that we confine our minds to, usually in a prolonged state of a mingeling of the personal consciousness with the collective one. Which means we are going nowhere if we are just perpetually staging it. It’s more like entertaining an attentive, deliberate composure, characterized by self-observation. It is from there the pith instructions of the universal ground appears.
