Specific to the eye 👁‍🗨

 

'Awareness' implies- 'Sensitivity'.
To be Sensitive to the environment, to all the things, most of the things that are happening in the world outside,
and also To be Sensitive, to be aware of what is happening, going on within oneself, within the skin, as it were.

That is,
to be aware not only to nature, to other human beings, to all the beauty of the world, and the political chaos, the Contradictions, the Hypocrisy, all that outwardly,
and also to be aware inwardly one's own problems, Conflicts, desires, misery, confusion and so on.

So, it is a movement of Sensitivity to the outer as well as to the inner.
.
To be sensitive, to be conscious of one's own violence, Double talk, say one thing and think something else.
.
So, we are asking:- if one is not sensitive, You can't be Sensitive, if you say, 'I don't like that', or, 'I do like that'.
This gives me more delight in looking, and that disgusts me.
Because, if one is not capable to observe without any movement of thought, which is like and dislike, condemning, accepting,
how can one observe the extraordinary complexity of one's own existence inwardly?

You understand my question?
.
I am saying, To be 'Aware' implies- To be 'Sensitive', to be conscious of the outer as well as the inner.
If one is not Sensitive to the outer, it becomes much more difficult to be Sensitive to the things that are happening inside the skin, as it were.
