Awareness Embrace Senses

More From Jon Kabat-Zinn

You are awareness. awareness is another name for you. since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. all that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-self. if one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the self.
Giving Up Self Names
Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. in this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. in awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.

As thinkers, mankind has ever divided into two sects, materialists and idealists; the first class founding on experience, the second on consciousness; the first class beginning to think from the data of the senses, the second class perceive that the senses are not final and say, the senses give us representations of things, but what are the things themselves, they cannot tell. the materialist insists on facts, on history, on the force of circumstances and the animal wants of man; the idealists on the power of thought and will, on inspiration, on miracle, on individual culture.

Too much apparatus, designed to guide us in experiments and to supplement the exactness of our senses, makes us neglect to use those senses...the more ingenious our apparatus, the coarser and more unskillful are our senses. we surround ourselves with tools and fail to use those which nature has provided every one of us.
Technology Tools Use
With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have.
