The Four Ground-Breaking Unknown Facts of Reality

By Burt V. Harding

Understand these Four Unknown Facts of Reality and you will never think the same again. These Four Facts of Reality will answer every possible question about life. Anything the human mind can ask is clearly delineated in these four magnificent and clear-cut truths.

They will explain the seeming paradox of truth, the self-contradictions, the reason we sabotage ourselves, the fears we labor under, the emotional pains we keep repeating, the unrelenting frustrations of coming and going, the inability to have faith in our own true nature and, most of all, why we cannot comprehend simple obvious truths about us.

For those ready and ripe individuals, these four facts are a great blessing. They are simplicity itself and make psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, and all spiritual beliefs so clear that peace and faith are a natural result.

BURT HARDING, founder of the Awareness Foundation in Vancouver, Canada, offers a radical invitation to recognize the truth of our being as already whole and fulfilled. He reminds us of the love we really are beyond the personal stories we carry. In this way, we come to recognize what we have always known but did not live from—the beauty and wonder of our own true essence. Burt conducts sessions and workshops in SuperSentience; a system devised to help heal deep wounds and promote a shift in the perception of who we really are. He has conducted studies in higher consciousness for thirty years and had his own television series on the mind/body connection. www.BurtHarding.com

I

dedicate this book to my lovely daughter, Debra Harding, who is a chip off the old block.

Also dedicated to my infinite partner, Suzy Johnston.

Author’s Preface

Understand these Four Unknown Facts of Reality, and you will never think the same again.

This is how it happened. My daughter Debra, a meditation teacher and Reiki Master, decided to spend two weeks with me after a twenty-two-year absence. The meeting at the airport was prophetic.

We decided to do some video talks based on love without preparation, thoroughly spontaneously. In our fourth video, I blurted to YouTube viewers, If you asked me what have I learned in forty years of spiritual work and service I would reply nothing, but trust in the Spirit I AM." This triggered quite a few responses from viewers asking for greater clarification. Since my daughter was about to leave for her home in Ontario, I postponed the replies to these questions until I was alone and ready.

That evening, in bed, a vision of the answer appeared. I got up at 3 A.M. feeling an uncontrollable urge to write on the board Debra put up for me before she left. It was as if my hand started writing by itself. Before I knew what happened, the Four Ground-Breaking Facts were exposed. So uncompromisingly simple and clear, I felt temporarily stunned.

These Four Facts of Reality will answer every possible question about life. Anything the human mind can ask is clearly delineated in these four magnificent and clear-cut truths.

They will explain the seeming paradox of truth, the self-contradictions, the reason we sabotage ourselves, the fears we labor under, the emotional pains we keep repeating. Why the unrelenting frustrations of coming and going, the inability to have faith in our own true nature and, most of all, why we cannot comprehend simple, obvious truths about us.

For those ready and ripe individuals, these four facts are a great blessing. They are simplicity itself and make psychology, philosophy, metaphysics and all spiritual beliefs so clear that peace and faith are a natural result.

Introduction

One of the most obvious facts about our life is that we exist, and, we KNOW that we exist. We take our human beingness for granted and rarely ask "what is a human?" and what is a being? If we took the time to stop and LOOK at our life, we would be filled with wonder and the miracle of existence itself.

The central theme of this book is the simplicity of awakening to a life filled with peace and clarity. This book was prompted for this one simple purpose. By being human, we are in a perfect position to understand life and our place in it. There is nothing to be done in addition to being alive, except accepting life as it is without resisting or avoiding it. There is no preparation for life, no dress-rehearsal.

You are already alive and know you are alive. It’s always here and now and waiting for you to make the choice to wake up.

The Four Unknown Ground-Breaking Facts do not propose an explanation of Reality for that would be absurd. Reality is infinite. What is required is LOOKING into the very process of life, and thus, waking up to its essence. This waking up to its essence arises spontaneously and naturally as the form of your very life.

Life is not to be figured out; it’s not based on a reasoning process. It is its own explanation and immediately obviates the need for any other. It is a matter of being willing to LOOK at the miracle of Life itself.

The Miracle: Obviousness of Consciousness

No one, as of yet, has ever been able to understand consciousness, and no scientist, however brilliant, has ever been given a grant to explain it. There is no possible way that consciousness can ever be understood and yet consciousness is all there is! Everything seen and unseen is consciousness.

Pause for a moment to consider that consciousness was never born and therefore never dies.

Life is made up of consciousness. However, it does not stop there. It is also aware of itself. Amazing insights happen when we stop and LOOK at this mind-boggling truth!

I am awareness conscious of itself.

Some psychologists and even scientists have proposed that consciousness emerged from the brain. Awakening proves, beyond a doubt, that such a proposal is absurd. Dr. Eben Alexander, a neuroscientist, wrote books on the subject until one day he suffered brain death, Resuscitated, he feared becoming a mental vegetable. Yet, he emerged a brilliant man who proved consciousness exists beyond the brain writing a bestseller in forty languages titled, Proof of Heaven. He now lectures widely around the world that the brain is a filter of consciousness.

As you read with an open heart and mind, you will make discoveries that consciousness is, primarily, pure in itself, known as Pure Consciousness or Pure Awareness. This means that our very nature is beyond time as we know it and, also beyond space.

When in Canada, if you Skype someone in Germany or Australia, you both talk in the now-moment despite a different day and vast space. Doesn’t this prove that NOW is beyond time and space? Doesn’t it also prove that past and future are simultaneous and never truly past nor future? Can the mind understand this?

What is mind? What is thought? What is conscious awareness?

We all identify with thought and create our conditioned world by this law of attraction, yet how real is it when it’s altered by thought itself?

Our daily life is run by thoughts, controlled by thoughts and acted by thoughts. And yet, we can stop and be aware of these thoughts. Do you see the implication of this simple process?

Did you know that the moment you see a thought as a thought, it shifts and changes?

The average human being sees thought as their reality the moment they believe that thought. Yet, belief and thought go hand-in-hand. A thought believed in produces your world.

Now here’s a mind-boggling truth: a thought is a concept and never reality!

This is the law of attraction. The world we see is the world we have attracted, and yet it is only real to us. A concept is never real and yet the human lives in that world.

The word LOOKING implies the awareness of observing thought as a thought. Can you begin to see the wonder and power of this simple statement? Yet, this is an obvious fact and proven in an honest moment’s effort.

Deepak Chopra said that we think an average of 26,000 thoughts a day. Do you wonder why so many people suffer anxiety, panic attacks, depression, fear, insanity, etc.? They are all produced by thought.

Now listen carefully. Pause and FEEL out the great wonder of these simple questions, Who is thinking these thoughts?

You will probably say me. Okay fine. Now pause for a moment and answer the following: Who is aware of these thoughts?

Take your time before you answer.

It is NOT the me who is aware of these thoughts but awareness itself. The me is a fabrication of conditioned thought associated with a given name at birth, combined with memories of conditioned imagination. In other words, everything that is conditioned cannot be real except through belief. Do you see this clearly?

Therefore, who is aware of these thoughts?

It can’t be your name or conditioned mind but the AWARENESS YOU ARE!

In other words, what is
