Awareness

Receptive capacity of Divinity/God/Source.
Witnessing capacity of Divinity/God/Source.
Awareness is not only receptive. One active aspect of awareness is the capacity to create noumena and phenomena.
Another active aspect of awareness is the capacity of Divinity/God/Source to orchestrate noumena and phenomena.
Another active aspect of awareness is the capacity of Divinity/God/Source to integrate noumena and phenomena.
Another active aspect of awareness is the capacity of Divinity/God/Source to dissolve noumena and phenomena.
That which observes.
That which observes emanations and projections.
That which observes experiences.
Awareness is a “black hole” into which consciousness collapses. Emanations and projects are completed in the collapse into awareness.
Awareness integrates/reintegrates emanations and projections.
Source awareness creates and orchestrates the arising of creation.
Source awareness is the power that completes all phenomena.
Supreme Awareness is the Supreme Power.
Supreme Awareness is the direct knowing of THE SUPREME.
Apex awareness is the pure direct knowing of THE SUPREME, in which no unawareness ever is.

Sayings:

“The power of pure awareness is the highest power that is.”
“Supreme Awareness does all the work.”
“Awareness is more than consciousness. If awareness is the Indian Ocean, consciousness is an island one kilometer wide and energy is a pebble one millimeter wide.”
