Metta's Reflections

Given Conditions

Pay attention to, and inquire into, the nature of your own
immediate experience. Become the Witness, or Observer, 
of your own experience.

Investigate the "Given Conditions" of being human,
"I am -- Aware -- Now":
the sense of identity, or being, at the center of
    your own experience which manifests as "I am."
the Awareness through which you perceive
    everything within and around you.
the immediacy and Infinity of Now.

These three basic conditions of being human are profound
pointers to our True Nature. We simply overlook them in
our rush to identify ourselves with "outward" conditions,
i.e., a body, memory, personality and the illusion of time.  

Simply paying attention -- looking at and remembering these
basic, essential conditions -- is enough, for they are the vehicle
through which we experience, and Recognize, the vast and
Infinite nature of Reality.
