Joyful Awareness
Awareness makes one joyful. Even as we are aware of troubles, the inner joy just keeps bubbling.
What does it come from? Perhaps spiritual awareness, perhaps awareness of environment. Perhaps both.
Spiritual awareness seems to encompass environmental awareness; in a way, they are spirals, one inside the other.
Environment is at the material level, the self or ego-level – all the influences and results of external and internal activity. Known by all senses; and interacting with the individual.
Spiritual awareness is seeing it all from an expanded state; where the “I” and “it”- or environment have dissolved into one another.
Simply, spiritual awareness is the hum of the universe; environmental awareness is hearing the sound, toning it, feeling it, touching and seeing the instruments that make it.
Aum.
