Non-Intervention Leads To Awareness

The gift of awareness allows us to notice what's going on around and inside ourselves in the present moment. In to do so without attachment or involvement. p19

Awareness is not a state you force. There is little effort involved, though persistence is key. It's something you actively allow to happen. It is a presence with, and acceptance of, what is happening in the eternal now. p20

As soon as you label and aspect of source, you're no longer noticing, you're studying. This holds true of any thought that takes you out of presence with the object of your awareness, whether analysis or simply becoming aware that you're aware. Analysis is a secondary function. The awareness happens first as a pure connection with the object of your attention. p20
