Verifiable attributes of awareness

These are verifiable attributes of awareness:


Awareness is what knows, it is what's knowing, 
or what's looking, what's listening.

Awareness exists.  It exists undeniably.
To deny awareness exists would require awareness of its non-existence.

Awareness is self-evident.

Awareness is that which most feels like "what we are", 
as our innermost being, our most intimate self,
awareness itself, even more so than this body and mind,
as we are aware of the body and mind.

In space:
Awareness is formless, without exact boundaries or edges or limits as such.
Its exact source is non-local, non-locatable, not pin-pointable, space-like,
it seems to come out of nowhere,
yet it seems tethered to this particular body and mind.

In time:
Awareness is timeless, without an discernible beginning or ending.
It is always now.  
It is always in this immediate present moment,
precisely and exactly now.
In that sense, it is localized, locatable, pin-pointable
as this instant, immediate present moment 
in an apparent flow of time.

Awareness is always fresh and new,
like a constantly gushing spring of immediacy, presence, now.

Knowledge of awareness is first-hand.
Awareness of awareness is first-hand.



These are claimed attributes of awareness
but not readily verifiable:


Awareness can exist without any objects of awareness.

Awareness exists beyond this particular body and mind 
in time and/or space.
