Awareness

 Contemplation is often thought to be about awareness.  It is not awareness that we can put into words, but we can put it into action outside of the meditation time.  If someone wants to know about this word “contemplation” I tell them that I cannot explain it but I can show them how to meditate.  Awareness is unique to each individual because the awareness comes from some Power, Energy, Source, that becomes apparent in my solitude, silence and stillness.  This Power, God if you will, can peek through nature, created things, but that will not change me for the better.  The awareness comes in the contemplative moment, out of my control, and that is the Source of my becoming my best self.
