We are awareness itself
The only true reality
of anything
is the Awareness
in which it appears.
Formless
Timeless
I-I
I of the I
Soul of the soul
I AM
We are awareness itself,
formless
The Spiritual Theory of Consciousness
The Spiritual Theory of Consciousness:
Personal consciousness is the reflection of a singular
impersonal source of Awareness.
impersonal source of Awareness.
This impersonal awareness itself is not knowable or perceivable
unless reflected as consciousness.
unless reflected as consciousness.
As radiated light is not perceivable unless reflected on a material surface,
this light of awareness is not perceivable unless reflected on a sufficiently complex neural network.
Awareness is reflected as consciousness.
Consciousness is the reflection of awareness.
Consciousness is the sense of awareness.
Awareness itself is formless and non-local, unlocatable, by direct first-hand experience.
Formless awareness takes form when reflected as consciousness and the contents of consciousness.
Unlike radiated light and reflective surfaces, however, radiated awareness is not separate from the forms that reflect awareness as consciousness, forms such as neural networks and sensory nervous systems. Awareness is non-dual. Reality is non-dual.

Various spiritual traditions appear to express similar concepts, using various names such as God, Yahweh, the Holy Spirit, Brahman, Atman, the Self, the One Mind, Buddha Mind, Enlightenment, Liberation, the Absolute, or the Great Spirit, and others.
The light of Awareness is the Holy Spirit, the light of life. Spirit is life. Our true identity, our living identity is this Awareness itself, "what's looking", not the body or mind. "The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing."
Sufficiently complex forms such as human nervous systems may interpret this reflected consciousness in them as being their own, as their innermost being.
But it is not their own -- it is reflected in them, they being fleeting forms.
When the form dissolves, when the body dies, the consciousness remains as unreflected consciousness again, formless and still. The temporal reflection ends.

What I know
I am.
I know I am.
I know I am alive, and not dead.
I know I am awake, and not asleep.
I know I am conscious, and not unconscious.
I know I am aware, and not unaware.
I know I am now, and not then.
I know I am here, and not there.
I know I am,
I know I can't say I am not.
This exact immediate instant of Now
feels like a dimensionless unchanging point
with no room for, or no time for, ANYthing,
just this immediate Now-ness, this immediate alive-ness,
this immediate awareness.
There is a timeless quality about it,
there is a formless, nonlocatable quality about it
-- time and form and location, they take time to discern,
and there is no room for any duration of time
in this exact immediate instant of Now,
this infinitely small point of nothingness
that contains everything.
And as it is with being Now,
so it is with being Alive,
so it is with being Aware,
so it is with beingness itself,
so it is with presence itself.
