142. ZEN REMARKS

142. Continually returning to mindfulness of the breath and body will open a space for questions to arise: 'What is the source or origin of this mindfulness, of this awareness?' 'Who is aware of this awareness?' Going deeper we might uncover in ourself an unformulated question, a questioning attitude, a questioning stance, towards the who and the what of our awareness. Aware of being aware, our questioning stance directs us deeper still. Our awareness of awareness itself directs us towards a dimension of consciousness that is deeper, more primordial, than our inner contending voices, than our forever moving, restless mind. It opens us to a sense of mystery, a sense of that mystery in which we live and move and have our being.
