One important thing I forgot to mention, is that awareness is always stable, constant and unchanging, regardless of the fluctuations in thoughts, emotions, or external circumstances. It can never change or go away. It always remains the same. This is how you know it’s your true nature.
To take it a step further, let's look at what happens when you become unconcious, like in narcosis or whatever. You will wake up to a time skip like things moved on without you observing them. But this time skip is simply just simulated by your senses, you have no direkt experience of your own unconciousness, you were not in a dark place where nothing was present. Your conciousness seems to pick up right from the moment you wake up again. This does not mean you gave up existence for a while, it means that you can never be erased in your essence as presence that exists on it's own. You cannot experience nothingness, because it is a label of the mind.
Everything you say I've always felt in a way, but couldn't put into words and here you are... Especially the emptiness thing, it feels sooo good... Never understood why people are so afraid of it and always wanna be in noise and movement... I find so much love and beauty in the stillness of just being... Evan, you're a blessing to those who get it... Thank you..... ❤
Thank you. Today was a good day, in particular, for me to realize that I am not my thoughts, but of course it should be so, everyday. Thanks for your help. I am in awe of those ancient Vedic thinkers who were able to realize all of this and put it into scriptures, so so long ago.
I've realized that what I am is the thing that is aware, the thing that experiences the different types of thought from another, one emotion from another, one sense from another. Then I experience the question: what is the thing that is aware?. Then I experience another question after: where do these thoughtful questions even come from? I experience them but not where they even come from. The closest way I can answer this question--and the answer is also a thought that arrives from this unknown to me--is that it feels like it comes from behind the periphery of my eyes. In other words, from this "back-place" that I know is there because thoughts just inexplicably arrive to me from somewhere yet I can't point to it, and is somehow behind the thing that is aware (what is me), but not behind in the sense of position--it is from the unaware: the place where my awareness does not reach. Now here's something interesting: I can experience thoughts about my awareness as mine: awareness is something I possess, which is strange because aren't I the thing that is aware, not the thing that possesses awareness like it is some kind of accessory? I am not the thoughts, but the thing can feels them arrive into observation. It causes another sequence of thoughts to arrive: you are not the thinker, you are not the mind, you just notice, you just observe and take or not take. When I think, it is not the awareness that makes the thought, but this unknown 'behind' thing (the unawareness) which I do not experience that thinks. I say "I think" because I experience the thoughts that arrived into observation and take them wholesale and speak or type them out. If I don't speak them or type them out, then they stay in my awareness sort of like floating around until they dissipate and I no longer am aware of them--but when they come back, I experience the feeling of recognition. Another thought arrived: this unknown 'behind' thing computes and produces your thoughts and dishes them out to your awareness so you can be aware of them. It almost like the unawareness is another person speaking thoughts to me (the observer). The question: "what is the observer?", is not a thought that I made, but is observed by me. I just got another flood of thoughts one after the other: you are the observer, you don't think, you are nothing; but not nothing, just no thing that can be pointed unto itself because you need to take something to make sense of anything, like the unawareness to make all types of thought in order to understand anything; you are nothing but a spectator that grasps at anything that comes its way because it has nothing except what it observes. The question: "what is the observer?" is observed by the observer. It does not belong to the observer, nor is made by the observer. I observer that when I speak or type, it is first a thought that I observe and then express via speech or words arrives thoughts when I choose to, and the process is fast. I just take them and express them without question. It's just a never-ending stream of different types of thoughts: answers, questions, suggestions, ideas, etc., being observed.
Yes, and had several powerful deja vus, and other uncanny Moments ( out of time and place ), so it is not materialistic... greetings Tom Brussels Belgium
It's quite freeing to know that you're only the observer, or you're only the consciousness, or you're nothing, as then the problems, stress and concerns fade away. Like you said perhaps it's better to live like animals, worrying about nothing, just going with the flow.
As Eckhardt Tolle says, .pure consciousness is like being in depths of the ocean where its quiet, unlike the frothy ocean surface phenomenon. A couple of years ago, I experienced enormous pain for 8 months with a case of severe sciatica. The pain was constant and pain killers just didn't seem to work. After a while, however, I think I was able to detach from it, by sinking deeper into consciousness , and came to accept it. I'm not saying it became pleasant, but rather, more manageable.
The question is… what does our higher intelligence want us to be, what does it want from us ?. We’re here for a reason, what is that reason, why have we turned away from what it wants ?. If we don’t find the right question we’ll never fine the right answer.
"The eternal happiness is obtained by perceiving the Inner Soul The Inner Soul (Antaratma) of all things, the one controller, Who makes his one form manifold - The wise who perceive Him as standing in oneself, They, and no others, have eternal happiness! The eternal peace is obtained by perceiving the Inner Soul (Antaratma) Him who is the constant among the inconstant, The Intelligent among intelligencies, The One among many, who grants desire - The wise who perceive Him as standing in oneself! They, and no others, have eternal peace!" -The Upanishads
I understand your comment. I'm a Christian, but feel I can bridge with the essence of what he says and my Christianity. . I go to church everyday, and feel a pure awareness in there. Peace & best wishes. 🙏

True but it's attention. It's a function of the mind.
@@Ciskuss it's beyond attention. It is that thing that makes the awareness of attention possible.

It feels like this true nature is always beautiful and kind. And infinite 💫
@ of course. Only the mind creates evil.
Nice talk thank you. Oscar Wilhelm from Argentina

Yes, all my feelings of discontent relate to losing sight to this awareness.

I am looking forward to the detailed video
A good meditation with the following mantra: I am not the body, I am not even the mind… repeat…
That statement is still seen by the seer
"The eternal happiness is obtained by perceiving the Inner Soul
The Inner Soul (Antaratma) of all things, the one controller,
Who makes his one form manifold -
The wise who perceive Him as standing in oneself,
They, and no others, have eternal happiness!
The eternal peace is obtained by perceiving the Inner Soul (Antaratma)
Him who is the constant among the inconstant,
The Intelligent among intelligencies,
The One among many, who grants desire -
The wise who perceive Him as standing in oneself!
They, and no others, have eternal peace!" -The Upanishads
Beautiful... Thanks for sharing..... ❤

I didn't watch it yet but I'm sure this is another great talk if yours. If I may ask, what is your ethnicity? Because you don't sound like a Native.
American
@myselfasevan oh I'm sorry. I'm hoping you didn't find my question to be offensive :(
Nice to meet you here on youtube Evan, I'm a new subscriber
@@MayaHendsenmayajs19442you can’t tell by his accent that he’s American? Well to be fair Canadians also have the same accent lol 😂
You saying there is no god at the end made the entire 15 minutes a waste of time.
