Question:

HI Deepak,

I am finally at home, I am finally enlightened. But I cannot sleep. So can you help me how to sleep because I am tired of witnessing, I need to rest in unconsciousness but I know now that’s not possible...so how to sleep while I am conscious? Biểu tượng cảm xúc smile

Response:

The quality of awareness when one witnesses sleep is not the same as the same as the conscious awareness we experience during the waking state of consciousness. The presence of awareness during sleep, or witnessing is a quiet continuum of “I am-ness” that is perfect peace and contentment.

What you are describing seems like a kind of vigilant insomnia. Your witness awareness is underneath this mental activity as the silent continuum of your true Being or Self. Give yourself permission to let your mind let go of all residual alertness and simply rest into your pure existence.

Love,

Deepak
