Awareness is completely simple; we don’t have to add anything to it or change it. It is unassuming or unpretentious; Awareness is not a thing, to be affected by this or that. When we live from pure awareness, we are not affected by our past, our present, or our future. Because awareness has nothing it can pretend to, it’s humble. It is lowly. Simple. Practice is about developing or uncovering a simple mind.
