THE POWER OF BEING

There is a book out there by Dr. David R. Hawkins called "The Eye of the I". For years the meaning of that title was unclear.

Currently, it seems to point to a "shift in identity." Let me explain.

The "EYE" is what "I" Am, "You" Am - as AWARENESS. (Not "my" or "your" Awareness, just Awareness it self.) And the "I"- is the Source of that Awareness and THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING/All Power. This Source or Everything, is what Dr. Hawkins refers to as the "I" or "the Great Oz." Other common labels for "I" is God, Consciousness, and the Universe. All of which is really the Nameless as Unconditional Love, Total Consciousness or Source. These too are just words, sounds, pointing to "That."

We once thought we were the body, thoughts, and intellect (BTI). But as identity changes, BTI runs beautifully on its own (as it always has). The identity change is that of Awareness, Presence, Silence, or Space. We are at home as "That" which watches the Reality of "What Is" - here, here, and here.
What becomes comical is the little Ego. The Ego is seen as being made up of nothing more than thoughts. The thoughts kept saying that there was a "separate entity," called "me," behind the complex automatic functions of BTI. That worn out story eventually is seen as a trick, a lie, a conditioned belief. As Awareness, the persona continues doing its thing, it just isn't seen as my identity any longer.

What a trip to just Be. Consciousness is no longer efforting "to be this or get that." If the energy of wanting arises, so what? It has nothing to do with "Me" as a unit or point of Power, a point of Awareness, or Presence. The "wanting" simply returns effortlessly, "untouched" and "unclaimed"
to the Source from which it sprang.

Somehow as this One Power lives us, we find our Being is happy. This, whatever "This is" feels full, complete, and lacking nothing. The Intelligent Silence guides and lights the way, as it always has, but this time there is no imagined separation.

We begin to TRUST this Power as it rests deeper and deeper.

We RELAX more and more as IT recognizes its undivided,

whole SELF as unborn and undying.
