You….. And Me…..and a Cup of Tea: Eight insights we've gleaned from enlightened masters.

Abstract

This Reflection piece offers eight insights that have been gleaned from enlightened masters related to the nature of consciousness, awareness and experience. These insights are elucidated in ways that can help in the evaluation of the usefulness of our values and beliefs, and how these dictate the way we respond to our life experiences. In this way the essay points to the importance of cultivating and refining one's own awareness because it is the level of our awareness that controls the flow of creativity and experience, both into and out of our lives.
