...as if Time stands still, and no thoughts occur inside...just a pure "sensation" of experience at that one eternal moment in Time? I feel like that ALL the time...!!! Do you "relate" to my description?
Could that "pure" sense of awareness be the same for all of us?

Yes, that pure awareness IS what we are. This is again the practice of being an observer, learning to be in the world but not of it. Is it not so peaceful, the letting go of all the past, just being here now, not encumbered by the emotions of this world. I wish I was praticed enough to live there.

Yes I do this all the time..I work in New York City haha with millions of people walking in the busy fast city streets with so much noise from cars and construction work etc..Pure awareness for everything around me...after 9-11-01 my senses even heightened more for that day what I saw I never will forget!!!It will forever be an eternal moment for me in life that one can never forget!!!
I think the pure sense of awareness is different for us all at different times we all have it and can practice it through meditation etc...but we experience at different times in our daily life :)))

I try to do it once per day. It's called meditation, and it's wonderful to just feel both completely aware AND devoid of all the trappings of life.
I've found over the past couple of years that it's changing me for the better. I try to live in each moment, and I'm releasing myself from all the constraints we all readily take on. Things like being fixated on finances, and feeling the need to participate in societal things like holidays. Hell, I don't even "celebrate" my birthday anymore, especially since it's odd for the calendar to say I'm 45 when nothing could be further from the truth. [I fully believe I'll be like Ruth Gordon in "Harold and Maude" when/if I get old.]

Yes, ignorance is bliss, and emptiness is emptiness - the same for everyone. Some people justify this choice of behaviour and perception with the argument that this state of being is pure reality, and that other states of awareness are illusions. I just think it is a simple way of escape for people who are too afraid to tackle their problems head on, so they just live in pure state of ignorance.
Could you still feel that bliss when standing in a village of starving and abused people?

Aristotle could consider this kind of awareness a sign of philosophy (love for wisdom) because he once said that in a circus only the philosopher is there for more than the show... He sits in his corner and watches the theater of life...
That kind of feeling is often linked with the religious significance of our lives. Maslow put in its world-known "pyramid of needs" on the last floor the human need for mysticism, supernatural, and life changing experiences. I think he was right because we all feel "strangers" in this world one moment or another...

I love to do my "pause" out on my patio swing looking out on the fields behind my home.
Yes I have stopped to go into myself spiritually, in a crowd also.
I do believe that there are people who never even think about it much less make an attempt to understand it.
I am sure that you will get some smart a---Alick remarks on your question -just ignore them !

individual who does not have self assurance in God. i'm answering this question as you sought to nicely known the which potential of cliffnote's version. that's a word which shows the shorter version of an prolonged tale. as an occasion, you ask a individual a query, he says, "that's an prolonged tale". then you extremely say, "provide me the Cliffnote's version" through fact of this you extremely choose the guy to permit you realize without each and every of the biggest factors. The t in my Verstion is a spelling blunders, which I then felt extra a private touch and it caught. I initially fancied myself as giving just to the factor solutions...which I needless to say do not now.

I remember when I was a child and I'd feel this. Like I had to look at my hand or arm or any part of my body and tell myself, yes you are here. Like I had to convince myself that I existed for real. It gave me goosebumps. Now I'm getting old and I am starting to feel it again. I kind of welcome it but I have to admit, I think if I told anyone this I'd be labeled as more of a nut than I already am.

All the time. I love it. Kind of euphoric in a way. My husband get's mad when I try to explain it to him, says he doesn't want to be a part of the "higher awareness club". I definitely ''relate" to you.
