This is fantastic. I once did an exercise for my work team that related to tasting. I gave them a piece of pear to taste after explaining (in words) the concept of awareness. The trick was that I told them it was a piece of apple! None of them liked it, and they all said afterwards that they like pears! I did that to show them that eating (the menu) expectations affected their reality and that common awareness is to “taste something in the mind” first and then eat. To practice awareness they should eat without “tasting it” in their minds first.
“Oh waiter…I’ll have what she’s having” 🙏
The nondual territory loves to pretend it can be mapped

Yes, that sounds like a fantastic eye-opening inquiry.
Taste the food. Put the menu down.
“THIS aware presence is the meal — the real thing.”
🍴THIS
So simple
And yet
The ego mind tries harder and harder to understand THIS
What’s today’s special? 😋🤤
Words are the map not the territory, enjoy the meal 🌀🙏
