7 Day Spain Retreat, September 30th - October 7th, 2023:
https://www.louisekay.net/spainretrea...
If you bring all your attention fully present into this moment, what is your actual experience of the moment? And who or what is aware of the experience? When no thoughts are present in the moment, what is here? You may answer, "I am here. I am aware." But who or what exactly is that 'I' which is aware? Is it aware of itself?
During self-enquiry like this it is very common for the conceptual self (ego) to experience confusion or fear. That is because a shift in identity is taking place, from identification with an imaginary self-image, to identification with the True self (pure consciousness). This confusion or fear doesn't need to be fixed or elimated. By simply resting the attention as the witness of the experience it dissolves and quietens by itself with time.
There is in fact no ego to be dissolved. There are only thoughts and unconscious patternings and conditionings acting out. By simply resting the attention as that which is aware and witnessing the present moment, higher consciousness infuses the system and old unconscious structures and imprints unwind and release naturally and effortlessly. It must be noted that the aim is not to reach an end point where the ego has dissolved, but to discover in this moment right now the Truth of who you are beyond the egoic / conceptual self: pure, naked Awareness.
This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on June 18th, 2023.

Louise Kay holds group events and retreats online and around the world.
