“AWARENESS IS NOT THE CONSCIOUS MIND.”

Awareness is neither the conscious mind (which accounts for less than only 10% of a person’s consciousness; the remaining 90% or more is the unconscious, known as the subconscious mind), nor is it what is called conscience.

The conscious mind and conscience both belong to the mind (ego). In other words, they are merely thoughts that appear and disappear in the field of consciousness.

Awareness is where much deeper than these, a stillness that always witnesses everything, yet is completely free from judgment. It can be said to be a window to the wholeness, completeness, or higher consciousness that is consciousness, and both consciousness and awareness are undivided in any way.

If we are as the awareness completely, rather than identified with mere thinkings, conventional beliefs, memories, interpretation of events, or etc., or clinging to mere experiences or physical bodies as if they were personal possessions, then there is no way we can judge any state of being as “good or bad,” “right or wrong,” or criticize or admonish others based on that judgement.

Furthermore, there is no way that arrogance or pride stemming from a separation-based mind (ego) such as thinking that I try to save or awaken others can arise.

This is because the awareness (the consciousness) is inseparable, undivided completeness, transcendental, unconditional love (wholeness), or compassion itself, and because there is no separation anywhere, it is impossible to be anything as something else, detached from itself.

For example, when we try to define others through some kind of judgment, everything we are targeting is, in fact, another form of manifestation of awareness, and it is only the mind (ego, illusory self) that cannot simply see reality for what is, that is making a fuss and saying things like, “That’s wrong,” “The correct answer is XX,” “These people are pitiful,” or “This is how people should be,” “This person is wonderful,” etc. Furthermore, we that the awareness does not yet awaken unconsciously keep taking such mere thinkings as real.

This awareness, truth, can never be found, no matter how much we think about it, no matter how we try to understand and interpret the words of sages, or no matter how many times we literally memorize them.

This is because the assumption that there is the “I” of separete self trying to find it is the very illusion.

When this illusion is seen through by the awareness with the clarity of the innermost stillness, the thinking, the mind (ego) is dissolved without a trace, and at the same time, when the awareness realizes something formless yet unshakable always remains, an end finally comes to the suffering or problem creates by the unconscious mind (ego).

At that same time, sentimentality or emotions creates by thinking, such as loneliness or unhappiness, also dissolves.

What remains is always pure joy or the happiness of being, that are not emotions, consciousness as oneness, wholeness, and complete openness, without the need to add or subtract anything.

In this way, it is the awareness itself that awakens to the awareness, and it is never illusory “I” that attains enlightenment or becomes aware of anything.

In fact, when the awareness awakens, although there are still the residue of identification with the mind (ego) that the awareness has to be careful for abiding as the awareness, essentially, the location of conscious awareness transcends the “I” realm of the mind (ego) and transfers into an entirely different dimension (deepest or highest) without effort or intention.

It is infinitely vast, profound, and the omnipresent unknown with no center or fixed point, without any boundaries of separation.

It is The Self, unfathomable existence itself, and the illusion of individual, character or etc., such as “I” or “other,” is nowhere to be found. (OM 🙏)
