' Misinterpreting the message '...

Does recognizing timeless awareness mean that you follow whatever impulse arises in awareness, including the impulse to cheat on your spouse or hurt others?

To the mind, awareness may look like a state of ignorance, apathy, depression, or nihilism. This view results from trying to grasp the pointers conceptually rather than looking to where the words are actually pointing.

The actual awareness to which these words are pointing is naturally free, loving, peaceful, and open. It is not a particular state, attitude or impulse. It is the ground or essence of all states, ideas, impulses and attitudes. It is a fundamental Oneness and therefore an unconditional love of life. If there truly is no separation and if your true nature is unconditional love, is there a “me” who would desire to harm “myself” or “others?”
