A DOUBLE-ARROWED ATTENTIVENESS

Dream in this world, but do not be in your dream. When you are not in your dream, you are not the dream. Do not choose your dream. By choosing the dream, you are being used by the dream. 

The mind can only exist in dreams. The mind creates illusions, dreams, fantasies, projections, and your consciousness is clouded in them. For then, you are trying to find your consciousness through the mind. You lose the real through the mind. How can you find the real through the mind? Simply look at the dreams, the thoughts, objects or emotions, and do nothing. You might experience a beautiful or ugly dream, which is very convincing and full of a fantasy that appears real, but know that you are not it. The mind is always looking through its own projection and concluding it as the effect and the cause. Remember, the effect is always decided by the cause. 

The mind is results-oriented. The unconsciousness, the ego-mind, is the cause of the separation from the whole. This is the meditation: disconnect from the cause and your being will not be effected. In meditation, cause and effect are not two, they are not divided. In meditation, the egg is the chicken, and the chicken is the egg. 

Enlightenment means looking and not being what you are looking at. It means looking at things with ‘Empty Eyes’ - with no conclusions and no results. In nothingness, the Infinite Consciousness is flowing as the moment of now. Look at the dream with Empty Eyes. While looking at the mind dream, look at your heart at the same time. Allow the physical eyes to look at the object of mind dreams, and with your awareness, look at your heart center in real. 

Be attentive. Love happens when two attentions meet in attentiveness. That is the double-arrowed attention. Look at the heart of your lover and at the same time, look at and be aware of your own heart. Your consciousness is looking at your heart, and your heart is looking at the heart of your lover. Melting between two lovers is in consciousness through the heart. The infinite love recognizes itself in the moment of now as divine attentiveness. 

Pay attention to the thoughts and at the same time, pay attention to the one who is paying attention to the thoughts. Double-arrow attention will meet in attentiveness, bringing you home to your Infinite Consciousness. With the Empty Eye double-arrowed attention, the mind surrenders itself to your stillness. The stillness is in nothingness. Remain with the stillness radiating from your being. The witnessing consciousness will open your heart in nothingness, giving you infinite possibilities. Do not prefer one possible possibility over another. Be open and blissfully flow in the moment of now. The divine is compassionately looking after you always.
