Self-awareness is awareness.
Awareness is not self-awareness.
Self-awareness is the destination of duality.
Nonduality is another name for absolute awareness.
Awareness is not nonduality.
Duality, nonduality, and self-awareness is the Holy Trinity of Maya.
This self is awareness. Brahman isn’t atman. This self is brahman.
footnotes to self.
another name for meditation is attention. practice paying attention at least once day. and say your prayers at night.
self-awareness is timeless. being self-aware happens when you don't think about it.
the practice is being self-aware for as long the mind can stand it. in-between we play our mindless games. not that there's anything wrong with mindless games. they help with spiritual indigestion. just try not to hurt someone.
ego is me. superego is god talking through me. there is no god in self-awareness. there's only consciousness.
consciousness isn't a god. although everything appears in consciousness and everything is consciousness, all isn't consciousness.
reminder. there are three states of consciousness, five superimpositions and seven stages of self-awareness.
as you will remember, the three states of consciousness are waking, dreaming, and deep sleeping.
the waking state includes higher states of waking consciousness. and lower states of waking consciousness as well. ultimately they're all conceptual.
the five superimpositions are outer, inner, thinker, doer, and lover
bell calls the seven stages of self-awareness, light, nuclear, atomic, molecular, vegetable, animal, and dominion.
also remember, there are four mahavakyas. prajnanam brahma, tattvamasi, ayam atma brahma, aham brahmasmi.
my transcreation goes, consciousness is brahman, there is no transcreation for tattvamasi, this atman is brahman, i am brahman.
similarly, if prana consciousness is, i am; and prajna consciousness is, i am that; ouroboric self-awareness is, i am that i am.
if all goes as planned, the world's population will hit 8 billion before the end of 2022. that's 8 billion buddhas. if there's ten thousand universes in every buddha, that's further than the webb can see.
"everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star." other selves are circumstantial. all i really know is myself. i assume the same is true for you. if not, try it for 3 weeks.
i purchased a ticket to omnipresent self-awareness and all i got was this body-mind.
the body-mind is formula one. dna is like original script. revelation is like going off script. revelation is like going off script. social conditioning sucks. love doesn't suck.
