Reality is a mirror,
arising from Karma and Samskara,
shaped for learning,
moment by moment.
Who meets Reality
the instant it appears?
Not Ego.
Ego is the response to Reality,
the contraction into identity,
naming, judging, defining.
At the moment Reality appears
Ego is not present.
Not Conscious Awareness.
Conscious Awareness is the silent witness.
It holds no judgment, no movement, no emotion.
It requires stillness
to be revealed.
If Mind or Heart are active,
Awareness is hidden.
Unless Personality is still,
Conscious Awareness is not present.
What stands in the gap?
What meets Reality
before reaction or witnessing?
Personality,
Present, unshaped,
not yet moving,
not yet reacting.
A field of potential,
able to contract into Ego
or soften into Awareness.
This moment is a doorway,
an opening through which
freedom, learning,
and dissolution may flow.
It is not the past or future.
Not experience.
Not memory.
It is the Now before movement.
Here, in this silence,
the Soul waits.
