di ko rin na-gets, ms.charm.

is it still banned, mr.blue?

i think so.. i dont know..

although anthony de mello is a jesuit priest.. internal politics tingale na ila.. na-insecure siguro to si bishop ratzinger sa mga words ni de mello sa iyang books..

pero if you read de mello's other books, they don't sound na nag-antagonize sa catholic church at all..

hi ate Miyay sabi nila na once you prctice daw AWARENES its no longer awareness, its a concept daw about awareness & awareness is a non-conceptual quality of consciousness

you'll get to that point somewhere later also.. when it all comes natural..

like for example, a humble person will never claim that he is humble.. pero sa beginning, its like a balance wheel sa bicycle.. you have to tell yourself you're humble to train yourself to be humble.. this is just one way of doing it hap.. after sometime, it will sink into you and become natural.. you become humble.. also, life will give you REAL tests to see how humble you can be.. when you pass that test, then it becomes natural.. like you don't bother anymore with it..

same with awareness..

^i see. murag na gets nako gamay. pero if you are unaware (because its natural to you) that you are aware, how can you be aware? nalibog na samot..hehehe

i like your explanation sir bluedes "as if at first" then after a while your in it na or ikaw na yun,
kaso lang awareness precedes character building as in the case yung practice ng humility,,to make it successful po, kasi in the absence of awareness di ba any attempt to rehab character will ultimately fail? so i guess ibang approach yung awareness he,he,he

aw then so much the better.. it means you're a highly evolved soul already.. anyways, again, life will give you tests to ensure that you have this characteristic already..

not necessarily.. a person can be kind without him being explicitly aware of it..
i dont think there are priorities or steps to take when building a character.. na you have to be aware first in order to be an honest person.. some are simply just honest by nature..

anyway, it depends on what you mean by awareness and what you want to get out of it..

How do you practice awareness?

I watch news and read current events all the time! Does it count?

of course naman.. practical awareness of your surroundings..

we're talking of self-awareness here though..

[miyay]
