The eternal light as consciousness

When you focus your attention on your thoughts you identify with the mind and ego. When you focus your attention on the breath you identify with the energy of your consciousness and truth. Your body and mind are a shell for the ego to inhabit and dwell. They are your vehicle for the physical world.

The breath is your passage into eternity. When the mind is silent the breath becomes the transporter of consciousness through feelings into awareness. It is a direct link into your being. The only hindrance to this is if the mind tries to identify with the process and tag along. Then the imagination interrupts and a pure link into being is not possible.

The purpose of feeling the breath is not to solely identify with it, but to feel the consciousness within it. The breath is a mixture of the physical and the spiritual energies of existence. It is a crossroads in consciousness and a door into the truth of your being. Do not underestimate feeling your breath and its importance to you in your growth into awareness.

As awareness increases even the attention to breath dissolves into consciousness. Your attention has been absorbed into being and you are simply aware. The idea that was death has been defeated by the awareness of forever. The eternal light of consciousness within you is now shining as you.
