[You are trapped in mind.]  

And so that happens with interpretations that come, labels that you attach to a situation, that you attach to people.   

Labels that you attach to yourself.   

And you completely believe it - those mental labels that come up according to mental conditioning.  

So you can see the reduction of one's aliveness, one's own depth, one's own reality when you live in a world of conceptualization, labeling, interpretation, predominately, it's still most humans do.

That which is already awake

Why is there so much seeking for awareness if awareness is always and already here? Awareness, when it is fully recognized to be what you really are, contains within it genuine love, compassion, humility, and peace.  When you first hear these words, the words resonate on a level that is deeper than the mind.  This resonance paradoxically draws you into a spiritual search for what you already are.

Seeking is based on a misperception that is naturally corrected when it is realized that what you are seeking is what is seeking.  Awareness is looking for itself.  It tends to look in every object that appears on its screen.  In that way, it misses the simple and obvious recognition that awareness is what is looking right now (and always).

The search itself is a complete illusion.  The search arises in awareness.  If you look closely, the search is comprised mostly of thoughts about future, fueled by a sense of lack.  These thoughts arise from awareness and are therefore not independent of awareness.  The thoughts will never find anything called "spiritual awakening."  Awareness itself is already awake.  All that can happen is a recognition of that which is already awake.

31. I am a heroine user attempting to resolve the cause of my addiction. Since starting the Process I have repeated nightmares about similar past life experiences. I am struggling with the fear these nightmares generate. THE PRESENCE PROCESS focuses on healing the child within us, but what about working with our past life traumas? What if the cause of addiction is not in this life?

By integrating the following truth, we release ourselves from an immense amount of unnecessary drama:

The first seven years of our experience on this planet, called our childhood, is composed of specific physical, mental, and emotional interactions, which represent a transfer of the sum and nature of the energy from our past incarnations, which we purposely bring with us to integrate during the course of this life experience.

There are a few different ways to do the seed sounds effectively. One is to silently repeat the syllables in the mind in a way that evokes the feeling associated with each syllable. It isn't necessary to be in a place suitable for saying the sounds aloud. We can say them as we wash dishes, garden, drive, prepare food, or shop.

Another way to effectively do seed sounds is to intone the syllables in a soft voice that emanates from the diaphragm and vibrates through the tongue. If we are in a place where it's okay to intone the seed

 sounds out loud, such as in our home or in the

wilderness, this is a bonus. Sound can help us control habits, overcome fear, address specific ailments, find inner peace, gain wisdom, and increase mental clarity. In other words, sound can heal.

Q:  So the innocent suffers for the guilty?

M:  In our ignorance we are innocent; in our actions we are guilty.   

We sin without knowing and suffer without understanding.   

Our only hope: to stop, to look, to understand and to get out of the traps of memory.   

For memory feeds imagination and imagination generates desire and fear.
