Or upon entering a certain landscape that something texturally has changed on a feeling tone level. So awareness is a particular way of using our mind to open us up to experience and is a necessary step toward presence. It gives us a small measure of presence. Now the essence of presence is becoming. From awareness we take a further step into becoming.
Awareness is a choice and becoming is a stronger choice to let the world in, to invite it in.
This is both the inner and outer world. If you have lost someone dear to you, you allow yourself to feel that loss. The mind has a memory, you notice the feeling in your body and you become it. You let it into your core like a shimmering breeze. You relax and you let yourself tremble, cry or ache.
