Five Discoveries of Myself

We have made five discoveries about ourself. The first, I am the presence of awareness. The second recognition is the recognition of the nature of awareness that I am, namely that peace and happiness are our nature. The third great recognition about the nature of ourself, we share our being with all people, all animals and all things. The fourth recognition, peace and joy lie at the very heart of all our feelings. However painful or uncomfortable they may be. But in order to access that peace and joy we have to welcome those feelings, to bring them close, embrace them. And the last or the fifth recognition, simply that we, awareness, are unconditionally open to all experience. And that comes with this recognition simply to be open without resistance to our moment by moment experience, to say yes to the experience to which we would have previously said no.
