IS AWARENESS A THING TO EXPERIENCE?
In truth, ‘awareness’ is not an ‘actual thing’; words conjure an ‘itness’ yes. ‘It’ is no thing that can be ‘known’ via relative body/mind based sensations, thoughts and perceptions that constitute conscious ‘experience’. Awareness is however, an a priori, non-personal, ultimate and absolute fact that exists in and purely as itself only, that is the background in which all experience comes and goes. There is no experience (duality with its subject/object) without awareness, but there is awareness without experience, (non-dual, subject only) as in deep, objectless sleep which is common to all humanity, albeit rarely directly recognized. Awareness is. Its actual recognition? – not so much – but as the only source of actual peace, ‘it’ is, like love, beauty and joy, so to speak. 🙂
Awareness isn’t a holy state, a sacred thing, a qualified experience; it IS, and can only be directly known as itself, by itself.
