We Are Never Changed by the Content of Experience

Thoughts, images and feelings arise, exist briefly and vanish. In what medium does experience arise and exist, and to where does it vanish? The dream world arises and vanishes back into the dreamer’s mind. Likewise, experience arises in the open, empty field of awareness. Be knowingly the aware openness within which all experience arises, exists and vanishes. Just as physical space is empty with room for objects within it and is never modified by whatever takes place within it, so we, this aware openness, are never changed by the content of experience. We are the changeless background against which all change takes place. With each breath feel the transparency of the space percolate deeper into every sensation, expanding into space in all directions. Awareness turns the experience of the body into itself. In the Christian tradition, this is known as the transfiguration, the shining of the body in the light of God's being.
