    "One of the most profound and important aspects in all of your education, regardless of what you do in life, is alertness. It seems so commonplace that no one thinks of it when they talk about personal development, spiritual training and so forth. People talk about awareness, but awareness is not the same as alertness.
    When you are alert, you are watching things around you. When you are aware, you are rarely aware of things around you. You are aware of yourself thinking of things around you. When you are alert, you are looking with very little thinking involved. If you were trying to listen to a conversation in the next house down the street, you would have to listen very carefully. You could not be thinking, “How am I doing right now? Here I am listening to the conversation in the next house. Why am I here anyway? What’s going on with me? I feel this way and my body hurts.” That is the difference between alertness and awareness. Awareness is very important, but alertness is more important. The person of Knowledge is extremely alert, which makes life very exciting."

    Hi Sunny, while listening to the video you some how made one thing clear for me. It just came to me I keep reacting to somethings. This is something because I have been reacting to things for years because it is all I know. For awhile I could not see it till this video. I really appreciate it.
    Thank you so much for the pointings and helping me see about reacting. Thank you 🙏🏼

    True as it is, this work is not the complete work. We need to work with insight, wisdom, understanding, feelings and the biology of trauma also. Otherwise it can end up being a huge journey of ego-based spiritual bypassing.

    I am normally very good at mindfulness but had a tough day or two of. "mind attacks". Thank you for the reminder, I stopped listening to the story in the mind it was all about :). I was dwelling in things that haven't happened, could happen, etc. The moment I switched to the witness of the thoughts, it ceased to be an issue. I was trying to do this daily for a while and was having success not believing the dialogue. Yet, somehow thinking seems to take over at some point or rather my attachment to it.

    Thank you for this wonderful channel.
    Just a question , that now I am able see that negative or positive both thoughts do not have any thinker, they are just thoughts. Now if my awareness is like staying as it is for few times a day(I meditate daily), and other times being aware of simple sense of peace and freedom
    Then will my reality give me reasons for feeling peace freedom?

    How do I stop the anxiety that comes up that is temporary, and connected to fear of failure? example: still (currently, at this point) on a course to study to become a new teacher, about a week or 2 ago, I was due to give 2 lessons in my subject - mathematics; I am a shy person, and an introvert, but I REALLY want to become a teacher of maths; anyway, about 15 seconds after walking into the school, my legs wouldn't take me any further and my body wouldn't move an inch. My internal dialogue was "I can't do this... damn it yes I can!..no, i can't ..who am I kidding I can't do this...etc.
    I was paralyzed, like Buridan's Ass, and stood there for about 2 minutes in utter indecision. I finally decided to exit the school, but found myself STILL mentally fighting myself saying alternately "isn't this WHAT YOU WANT?" and "no, I can't do it. "
    IWhen I got home I felt relieved, *and* ashamed of myself at the same time. I don't know how to get past that anxiety gaining control again, or even if I'll get a second chance to become a teacher. 😢☹

    Sunny, I have become fearful of my thoughts ever since reading into law of attraction. The statement that your 'thoughts become things' is deeply concerning to me. Many people take this statement literal, as in you are to blame for what comes into your life, including negative experiences (i.e. if I think I will get cancer then I will get cancer). I don't know whether to take this statement literal or not. This teaching is seemingly the opposite of what practically all spiritual teachings preach. Can you please clear this up for me. This fear is becoming unbearable, although I know intuitively that this is has to be a misconception. Thank you

True manifestation lies in "action" in the here and now. To change the dream we need to find the dreamer. To act from a sense of being fully present in the now, is different from the day dreaming of useless obsesive thoughts. We need to move from ilusive thoughts to Presence, and from Presence to Power.
