Sidney -- Deepak Chopra says awareness is simply awareness, with no story. The thoughts and facts about us, even our name, has a story that we attach to. I thought of that as I read your note which I appreciated.
Thank you so much David for your reply. I will contemplate on the story(s). So nice to communicate with others on the spiritual path-----Sidney.

About a week ago, I was just lying in bed with my eyes closed but I could not fall asleep, when what I would call waves of awareness passed through my being. It only lasted a few seconds but I feel the experience has changed me forever. A shift from my identity as a personality and body to just awareness. I call it grace because I did nothing to deserve it. My task as I see it is to lose the attachment to my name, Sidney, and all that is associated with it while still functioning in my daily life with awareness.
