In mind 2

Compassion is the bottom line in Buddhist philosophy, and the other bottom line is awareness. Is there no conflict between truth and compassion? The answer is no.
Reality can be described in many ways, and all are good except the bad ones. The good ones are about compassion, which means a general, positive attitude towards others.
Compassion is an unusual attitude, as we see from history. History has been driven by egoism and strange ideas about superiority and the right to hurt and kill others.
In mind we can spontaneously have different ideas and experiences, but compassion is not spontaneous. It is something we have to learn. If we do that, we can see all issues in the light of compassion.
In Buddhist philosophy we find the connection between relative truth and absolute truth. The relative is an expression of the absolute, but not in a random or arbitrary way.
The relative truth can be understood in so many ways on the coarser levels of mind. We are normally deceived.
If we can not reach the deepest levels - which we can not do normally - we have to rely on rules of thumb - and the basic rule of thumb is that compassion is right.

Awareness awareness 2

When we use the same word twice immediately after each other we mean different things. So if we would say "awareness awareness" the first word, "awareness" means the awareness in our mind - the constant stream of thoughts and observations. The second word, "awareness" means the awareness of the constant stream of thoughts and observations.
So the first "awareness" is the object, the reality taking place in our mind. The second "awareness" is the subject, the "I" watching the stream of thoughts.
In all mind training, to learn to be aware of the stream of consciousness is a central thing. Different words are used as mindfulness, mental alertness, vigilance.
There is no reality if there is no observer at the same time. The best painting might be in the museum, but if you are not there you will not be overwhelmed by it. The best book might be in the library, but if you do not read it it will not give your life new meaning.
And so it is in our own thoughts. In order to reach the divine, we need the objective aspect - awareness of the divine in all its fantastic qualities - and also the subjective aspect - an awareness that appreciates the divine and all its fantastic qualities.
