"The experience of awareness is like being frightened or terrified. It is that kind of intense non-conceptual experience."
This from the commentary on Creation and Completion.
It has hit me light a bolt of lightening. If pure awareness is as effortless as fear, or any other intense emotion, then those emotions are the gateway to enlightenment.
When I sit with fear, it gives way to fearlessness. The concept that the fear was based on has burned off. All that remains is for the fear to burn off.
