Meditation Is Self-Remembering from the media Self-Remembering Is Another Name for Meditation

Here we explore our true nature and the nature of reality in terms of awareness or consciousness. This can be divided into three steps. First, we recognise ourself as the presence of awareness to which all experience appears or with which all experience is known. The teaching first suggests that we separate ourself out from the content of experience and recognise ourself as the knowing subject. The remedy for this self-forgetting is simply self-remembering which is another name for meditation, self-enquiry or prayer. Our knowledge ‘I am aware’ is awareness is knowledge of itself. Attention is the directing of the light of awareness. The practice of meditation, prayer or self-enquiry is a concession to the separate self that most of us believe and feel ourself to be. Once this recognition has taken place, we begin to collapse the distinction between awareness, the subject of experience, and the objects of experience.
