For a simple method of seeing how awareness is aware of itself, here’s a little exercise to show what it’s like:
​
Close your eyes for a moment and just focus on the back of the eyelids. When we do this, it tends to disconnect the thought stream and the emotional stream so there’s a very familiar sense of awareness, aliveness, presence, Beingness.

This sense of awareness and existence is something you’ve known all along even when you were a little child, maybe at just a few weeks of or a few months old. This very familiar sense of awareness was present then and, one could say, it’s just awareness aware of itself. When the thought stream and the emotional stream subside, there is just this sense of awareness and existence. And it’s very tangible.

If I ask you, “Do you exist?” then the sense of existence which we’ve believed to be the existence of the individual actually never became the individual; it’s just remained as this infinite, open field of awareness.

This is attribute-less awareness is just like a cinema screen. Because a cinema screen has no attributes of its own, any imagery can be projected onto it, and so we can have the full-on experience. And just like a cinema screen is a field of infinite possibilities (in terms of creativity and drama), so also is our our true Infinite Nature. But we remain as that throughout; it’s just that we consent to the drama in the dualistic realm.
