The Certainty of Our Own Being
The key points–
- Awareness is aware of itself and knows itself without requiring the agency of anything but itself
- Awareness, unlike perceptions, feelings, thoughts or sensations, doesn’t come or go
- Therefore, the presence of awareness is who we really are
- There is no separate self
- In the placeless place of awareness, we never find an object
- In reality, there is no separation and when we experience the all-pervasive intimacy of awareness in relationships–we call it love, and in the perceiving of objects–we call it beauty
