Reading Highlight

Ask yourself the question, ‘Am I aware?’ but don’t answer the question with the thought ‘Yes’. Just ask the question ‘Am I aware?’ and allow your attention to be drawn to the experience that will subsequently inform the answer ‘Yes’. The experience that takes place in between the two thoughts, ‘Am I aware?’ and ‘Yes’, is not an activity of mind. It takes place between two activities of the mind. Stay with the pause between these two thoughts. When we remain in this pause before the answer formulates itself, what takes place ‘there’ is the most valuable and, at the same time, the most underrated or overlooked experience that one can have.
