Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of
thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share
the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware
that they are aware. Most people's lives consist of a flow of
thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and
so on. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of
thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my
experience?" The knowing of our being-or rather, awareness's
knowing of its own being in us-is our primary experience, our most
fundamental and intimate experience. It is in this experience that
all the peace, happiness, and love we have ever longed for reside.
The happiness we have sought for so long outside of ourselves, in
situations, objects, and relationships, turns out to be always
present, always available, in the simple knowing of our own being
as it is. The knowing of our own being shines in each one of us as
the experience "I am" or "I am aware," or simply as the thought
"I." Because this simplest, most obvious, most familiar, and
intimate experience is to the mind not a thing, or nothing, it is
overlooked or forgotten by the vast majority of humanity. The
overlooking of our own being is the root cause of all unhappiness
and, therefore, the root cause of our search for happiness. What is
the nature of this experience of being aware? The contemplations in
this collection will lead readers toward their own experiential
understanding of that which we all call "I." Being Aware of Being
Aware is the first and introductory volume in the Essence of
Meditation series of collected meditations on the fundamentals of
non-duality. Each volume will include six essays, compiled from
contemplations led by Rupert Spira at retreats. Future titles
include The Nature of Mind, I Am, and The Nature of Happiness.
