Dictations from Out There — Awareness Is Not Produced by Intention
Awareness is not something produced by intention.
Intention is something we feel and experience within the space of awareness.
We cannot contain awareness. Any sense of container is something contained within awareness.
Intentionality produces a kind of movement—the movement of attention—that implies substantiality.
Awareness is inherently undefined and undefinable, and therefore the word awareness is an emptiness that does not point to any object of attention, whether subjective or objective. It’s a word that requires us to relinquish the need to concretize ourselves by focused experiences.
We don’t need to concretize ourselves—though, socially, people like when we do, so we are definable and they have some sense that they know what to expect, somewhat.
Awareness is never concretized. Awareness is never something that could be concretized. All concretization is something that occurs within and subject to awareness. It is a concretization—a coherent focus of attention.
Intention itself is just one feature of experience, because attention must apprehend the intention. For an intention even to be registered, it must be noted in and by the spontaneous, undefined intelligence, and then consolidated in persistent memory so that recognition can occur.
All of that does not produce awareness. All of that occurs within awareness. What happens, as it occurs within awareness in the state of equilibrium or balance, is that it ceases to distract attention. Therefore, attention can easily fall away from it. And the away from it is not toward anything in particular. Rather, it is simply attention letting go of concretization so that it abides as a state of ease—a pleasurable, centerless ease without concern.
And NEVER argue with a mime!
