The Third Recognition

In the first recognition we noticed that we are the witness of experience, the awareness that witnesses the experience, the knower of the known, or the experiencer of the experience. In order to recognize the presence of awareness, we separate ourselves out from experience as its knower or its witness. The second recognition is the that being is happiness, and recognizing our shared being with everyone irrespective of the way they think, feel and act, we withdraw our expectation or demand from people and the world that they should make us happy. In the third experiment, is the recognition that our primary relationship with everyone and everything be one of love. That is, before we know anything about anyone or anything, we establish, not just in our understanding but in our feeling, that we are essentially one with that person or object. We make love the prior condition of all relationship, be that relationship with a person, an animal or an object.
