Something Else Just Rolled In<br />
Australian nondual author Colin Drake’s book, The Happiness<br />
That Needs Nothing, contains an addendum that I find worth<br />
sharing. Born in 1948, and meditating since 1978, in 1996 he<br />
‘broke through’ to a nondual awakening. The book is available<br />
both as an e-book and a paperback from:<br />

ADDENDUM - “Love Loving Itself”<br />
Here is a practice for ‘sensing’ the Absolute, through which<br />
the lover – pure Awareness, consciousness at rest – and the<br />
beloved – the manifest universe, cosmic energy, consciousness<br />
in motion – can ‘know’ and love each other. Thus the Absolute,<br />
consciousness in both modes, can know and love Itself.<br />
[These instructions have been edited to be recorded or spoken.<br />
Also try the reversed tongue sleep-nursing exercise with it.]<br />
Lie, or sit, in the most comfortable position you can possibly<br />
find, with your eyes closed. Make sure that the phone is off the<br />
hook and that the ‘do not disturb’ sign is on the door.<br />
Notice the sensations (and feelings) in, and on the surface<br />
of, the body. Sink into these sensations, really luxuriate in<br />
them as much as possible. Ignore all other sense impressions<br />
and thoughts except these sensations. (If it appeals you may<br />
mentally repeat ‘Feeling you my love’ as you do this.) Realize<br />
that these occur, are detected by the nervous system, and are<br />
then ‘seen’ by Awareness – i.e. you become ‘aware’ of them.<br />
So the body/mind is an instrument through which Awarenessconsciousness<br />
at rest, the lover – can feel the external world<br />
– consciousness in motion, the beloved.<br />
