The Truth, According to the Teachers of the Age of Awakening
by Frank M. Wanderer
The Mind Unleashed
In the past century, a lot of people realized that their real identity was the Presence, the Alertness, the ever present now. There is only one Truth (although when it is wrapped in words, it may appear differently, as words are easy to misunderstand), and that Truth is the Witnessing Presence. The testimony of Awareness and Presence of some Awakened Witnesses (the list is not complete):
Eckhart Tolle
“Once the desperate escape from the Now is over, the joy of Existence pours into all your deeds. As soon as you focus your attention on the Now, you will be filled with a sense of Presence, tranquility and peace.If your actions are rooted in the Consciousness of the Present moment (that is, Witnessing), no matter what you do –even the most common actions– will be characterised by quality, care and love.”
Adyashanti
“It is not frightening to be something. It is not frightening to be somebody. If you are not somebody or something, you are a pure soul. You are a pure Awakened Presence (Witnessing Presence). Not somebody, who has woken up, not I, who have woken up, no somebody who is enlightened. The Awakenedness (the Witness) has woken up! The inner emptiness is what I call a little secret of mankind. If we watch inward, and we see that directly beyond the mind we are not somebody’s son or daughter, mother or father. These are roles that happen. There is something primary that preceeds all those roles. This is not a good somebody or a bad somebody. Something beyond all that. That is behind the mind (the Witnessing Presence). That is what is looking out of your eyes and my eyes. The same nobodiness, the same nothingness. The nothingness of our own Existence. The nobodiness (the Witness).”
