Since it is so important that you have a question I would put it like this: I am aware of being conscious. I am not conscious of being aware. consciousness only appears in awareness. or something like that. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably one of the most important questions, because it reveals the nature of reality, I believe. Everything is awareness, but without consciousness, there is no perception. Perception then, is the interaction between awareness and consciousness. Perception IS the difference between awareness and consciousness. Awareness without consciousness can only be experienced, it cannot be perceived. tyga Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgetting the infinite is like going to put fuel in your car but forgetting you needed a car, it doesn't work that way. The infinite is the mechanism by which everything else comes into existence. The infinitely large and the infinitely small. If we are to understand our true nature, then we need to include everything within that understanding, including the infinite. If the term " awareness " is causing us confusion, then lets not continue to use that term, lets just drop it all together. I suggest we use the term " singularity " , as a singularity (black hole) is one of the only things I know of that is infinite in nature (infinite density). The only other thing I know of that is infinite, is space itself. So we then have two examples of infinite that occur in nature, the infinite density and the infinite vacuum. So when I was referring to awareness, I was referring to both the singularity and to the vacuum. Consciousness then could be perceived as the interplay between the singularity and the vacuum (awareness), which we observe as the event horizon. Does that make more sense? tyga Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the 1st unpredictable factor your attempt is that of a scientist. You have found that speaking of nonduality doesn't help really.

People who prefer to use terms such as Awareness for ultimate, infinite, absolute, etc do it, generally, because they want to survive death in one form or another. Even if it's as an impersonal awareness pervading reality, but Maharaj said quite clearly: " The absolute is not aware of itself. " What does it mean? It means, that if the absolute is not aware of itself, then it could not be awareness. To pose an unaware awareness is an oxymoron. So, those in who, clinging to life is gone are free to know that awareness raises in the absolute, but the absolute is not awareness. Awareness needs the beingness to be, and the beingness needs the body. Maharaj said your beingness is the food-body and will be gone when the body dies. So, those who do not cling to awareness, are true Clingones. ) > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
