Awareness becomes Consciousness...


Do realize that it is not you who moves from dream to dream, but the dreams flow before you, and you are the immutable witness.

No happening affects your real being - that is the absolute truth..

The witness is not a person.

The person comes into being when there is a basis for it, an organism, a body. In it, the absolute is reflected as awareness.

Pure awareness becomes self-awareness.

When there is a self, self-awareness is the witness.

When there is no self to witness, there is no witnessing either.

It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person that complicates.

See that there is no such thing as a permanently separate person and all becomes clear. Awareness, mind, matter - they are one reality in its two aspects as immovable and movable, and the three attributes of inertia, energy and harmony.

Awareness becomes consciousness when it has an object.

The object changes all the time. In consciousness there is movement; awareness by itself is motionless and timeless, here and now...
