William Samuel

When one takes hold of awareness to be their identity, that is, as we understand that awareness itself is identity, and that we are not the possessor of awareness, rather we are awareness itself.

As we do this, we begin with a slow beginning, but it's a consistent, persistent beginning that continues.

We begin to experience a practical and tangible and very obvious absence of anxiety, of fear,

And we can this moment right here, right now, let go of the me sense and what does it leave?

It leaves awareness on the scene.

And especially there is a lessening of human desire.

That is a desire for anything other than the knowledge of the truth itself.

A feeling of equanimity remains in this, and I don't know what word to use except motiveless.

We remain in this motiveless state for just a time, just a time, and then it slowly blossoms into quite a new dimension.

that has an entire new scent of sensations that I don't really know how to describe except to call it peace.

I can in no way describe this peace.

I've tried.

I don't think anyone can describe it.

But we go about our daily affairs and we seem to have a new vigor.

Within it we find ourselves with new insights.

We find ourselves filled with new ideas continually coming.

And they're not ideas that just benefit us as an individual.

but they are ideas that from which the whole world can benefit now.

We continue our daily affairs just as always.

We make a living, but we somehow do it now without the old interferences of worry and frustration and vain desire.
