Self-abiding

To begin with, Self-abidance may seem to be an effort that is made by a person from time to time. Frequently this apparent person will seem to forget this abidance in Presence, this standing as Awareness, and revert instead to standing as a body. In time, however, as it becomes more natural and effortless to remain knowingly as Awareness, we slowly forget to take our stand as a person. As this process of self-realisation takes this understanding deeply into our felt and lived experience, we no longer recreate the apparent person as the thinker, the feeler, the doer, the lover, the chooser, etc. Rather, it becomes natural and effortless to remain knowingly as this Presence.
