Q 11) Does organization happen within awareness itself?



When I reflect on this question, I feel like answering it through the moment-to-moment experiences of the last two days. The organization within awareness happens naturally when I observe my daily activities.

Yesterday, when I was teaching my student, he was asking many questions. He was writing what I was telling him, and I was engaged with the content of the topic I was teaching. I was also taking help from different tools for teaching. Many things were happening together, and everything was happening in my awareness. I never had to consciously organize everything. With clarity of mind and just being aware of everything, the organization of all these micro events happened automatically. Everything happened in order by itself. The situation was getting organized by itself. I did not have to make any special effort for it.



Another example is from yesterday when I was working on my laptop. One part of me was typing on the laptop, another part was feeling hungry, and one part of me was thinking about my future work. I could see the order of these experiences. There was hunger, typing on the keyboard, and thinking about work. I did not sit and arrange these activities intentionally. They seemed to reveal their sequence by themselves.



Most of my time also goes into dealing with family dynamics. Because of this, different emotions arise inside me. Sometimes I feel stressed, confused, happy, or lethargic. When these emotions are mixed together, it feels as if different voices are speaking inside me. By simply noticing them, being aware of them, or reflecting upon them, they get organized by themselves. I do not need to make special efforts to manage those emotions. They just get organized systematically with proper observation.



One of the important activities I am doing these days is trying to control my diet to reduce my weight. This makes me more conscious while eating. The movement of the hands, eating the food, cooking the food—everything starts happening in a systematic way when it is simply noticed. I can feel the sequence of the taste, chewing, swallowing, and then the next bite just by being aware of them.



What used to feel chaotic becomes clearer and organized simply by being aware of all these activities. When things are clearly seen, they naturally appear in some order. So, when I reflect on the above question, I begin to understand how awareness and organization are closely interlinked. By just being aware of our daily experiences like walking, eating, talking, working, and many other activities, everything starts getting organized.



This makes me a little curious to understand whether awareness actually organizes experiences, or whether it is simply the space in which different things become visible and appear organized. I want to explore this further.

Q 12) Is organization distortion, or simply movement?

  When we hear the words awareness and organization , the first thought that may come to our mind is this: if awareness is natural and spontaneous, then why do we sometimes feel that it has become organized? And if organization happens within awareness, is it a distortion or a natural movement? Awareness is simply noticing our own experiences. Right now, as I am writing this article, I am sitting at a table on a chair, working on a laptop, and thinking about how to explain this question in simple words. I know all these moment-to-moment events. This knowing is awareness. People often get too attracted to this word and feel that it is something mystical or special. But actually, it is something we experience all the time. A student may be sitting in a class, learning from the teacher, writing notes with his pen, and he might also feel sleepy. Simply knowing all these experiences is nothing but awareness. Some kind of organization happens naturally within awareness. We can...

Q 10) Does awareness need organizing?

Awareness, in simple words, means knowing what is happening. It gives the ability to notice things inside oneself and outside as well. Right now I am writing on a laptop, sitting on a chair, and also feeling a little hungry. This knowing is called awareness. Now the question is: “Does awareness need organizing?” No, it doesn’t need any special organizing. It happens instantly and automatically, like breathing or the heartbeat happens automatically. It is naturally present and doesn’t need to be arranged, managed, or controlled like other things. ·        When I wake up in the morning, I see the sunlight from the window and hear the sound of birds. Now, does this awareness happen because I organized or managed my awareness? No, this happens naturally. ·        I was walking outside and saw people walking, cars passing, the sound of vehicle horns, felt the wind on my face, and felt the touch of the ground. All these exp...
