74 - Spiritual Awareness at Wesak - Awaken to the Real

What is happening today is not a means to expand only our consciousness, but also to expand our awareness. We hear much about expanding our consciousness, but very little about expanding our awareness. Awareness is a matter of direct experience, of knowing through identification, of opening to the sunshine and becoming one with it. It is an awakening to the Real Life, to the function of that Great Life. It is experiencing both the form side of life and the formless side; experiencing the manifested side of life and the un-manifested side; the blueprint of this manifestation and the energy of this manifestation. Actually we are building a bridge between the objective and subjective worlds, between the world of cause and the world of effect.
The cause is the realm of awareness. You become aware of the cause, and then you become aware of the effect through your consciousness. This consciousness necessitates reasoning, analysis, induction, deduction, comparison, and so on. Awareness does not need these things. You are aware because you are in the world of causes. Nothing from the world of effects, affects your clarity of vision. You can go from the effect to the cause, but the cause is, and from the causal plane you can easily see what is happening on the plane of effects, without being affected by it.
