"A Guide To Awareness and Tranquillity" by William Samuel
Excerpt from Chapter 10
The Real Identity
Awareness existed before any manifestation. Which is more significant awareness or manifestation? It is the Heart that instructs, not the words. The heart goes beyond words and cannot be fooled. There is no one reading this book to whom the Truth has not been revealed many times and for whom the Truth only needs to be lived. Additional enlightenment and its tangible experience called ‘healing’ come with LIVING – just beyond the wailing wall of words. But the light that is being the awareness of the words – the light identity is – cannot be revealed by word alone.
Now listen softly. Wisdom comes out of warm quietness and simplicity, not from the bombast of overpowering words, intellectual mumbo jumbo and hard talk. Knowledge comes out of simple tenderness and childlikeness. We let weighted concern go! Frustration and fear have no authority! They cannot alter the Identity being us. We let go the struggle to define the infinitesimal. We end the battle to outline the relationship of an endless microcosm – foolish task! We come home to Awareness. The identity Awareness which gives us the power to be aware of this frustration and fear. We return to simplicity, to the warm tenderness and inescapable effortlessness of the Already-Identity Awareness is, right here, right now reading these words. This is not to laboriously ponder the mysterious paradoxes as though wisdom depended on that. This is to joy in letting go the thinker, and find ourselves the THINKING of Isness.

Consider this ‘here’ and ‘now’ a moment: When do we read these words? When do we look across the way and see a familiar face? Or any face? When do we see children scampering with their toys? NOW is the ‘time’ that ‘seeing’ takes place. Seeing is NOW.
Listen again: the here and now are present as this consciousness reading these words. This is the here- and- now consciousness that individual identity is! And this is the only one we are ever concerned with.
Actually we have never been concerned with another conscious awareness. Even when we think we have been confronted with ‘another’ experience of son, daughter, husband, wife, partner, associate, leader, national figure, potentate, King, Christ Jesus or the hosts of heaven, hell and the universe, the knowledge of these figures and the consciousness of their actions are always this conscious awareness even now examining these words! They are everyone included ‘within’ and ‘as’ this here now consciousness that says ‘I am!’ Who can deny that conscious awareness lives forever as itself, here and now the eternal moment and infinite place of all that we call ‘our own’ Identity – Experience?
We dream in the now. We have missed many tangible wonders in our here and now while wrestling with tangible dreams of a not-now or worrying about events that are not here. Suppose we resolve to ‘begin’ this New Now looking ‘with the eyes of God’ at the majesty and wonder Isness-as-us is. Let us further resolve to let go, as persistently as we can, Bill’s, Jack’s, Mary’s or Jane’s view of things. To do so to find ourselves letting go the ‘old man’s or the ego-personality’ fears, frustrations and confusions. To do so is to find ourselves looking at a tangible harmony on the here – and – now –scene- a harmony we can see even when others won’t. To do so is to live a deep and abiding JOY that cannot be taken from us even if our personal opinions and their pleasures appear to be.
