There’s something in all of our experiences that is as solid as a rock, even amidst the trials of life. Something that we all share, no matter our beliefs, but is often overlooked. What has been with us, exactly as it is now, since before we even knew our name? That is the very light of awareness itself, the seat of “I am” in our lives. Even our sense of our body changes, identities change, feelings and thoughts obviously change, but there is something that sees all that. Tell me, are you aware right now? Even just this simple question can help us take a step back into an awareness of our awareness, something that by its very nature is expansive and as solid and peaceful as a rock. Our sages tell us that just noticing this seat of awareness (i.e. ourselves) more can lead to its peace pervading our lives, as well as opening us to the joy, love, and wisdom inherent to our consciousness, our spirit, what some may call the light of God.
