'If you are not truly and consistently established in the understanding that you are here as awareness, and, on that basis, function as the true feeling-depth of Reality intelligence, you are merely “self”-identified with the flesh body— and its casual flow of superficial emotions, energies, and thoughts.
The body-mind-complex goes through all kinds of superficial changes—and, inevitably (and even at any moment), it dies.
In and of itself, the body-mind-“self” is an unsatisfactory condition, and a constant source of suffering.
Therefore, you become a seeker.
Without exercising the functional faculties in-depth, and always standing in and As the “Perfect Knowledge” of their Reality-Source, you constantly want and seek for the always-suffered superficial “I” to feel better.
Awareness is already continuing beyond the body-mind-“self”.
No matter what happens to the body-mind-“self” while you live, you are always merely aware.
The awareness itself never changes.
Even while you are aware of changes, the awareness itself never changes.
It is only awareness.
There are not different kinds of awareness—different colors of it or different shapes of it.
Awareness is, simply and only, awareness itself.
What awareness itself Is must Be Self-Realized—but the fact of it, and the Reality-Nature of it, is constant and Self-Evident.
No matter what happens in the body-mind-complex, awareness is merely and simply aware of the process of the body-mind complex—and awareness itself is never affected by change.
Therefore, you yourself, as awareness, are never, in Reality, affected by change.
Awareness itself does not go through changes. Awareness merely and simply observes changes.
Awareness itself Is the In-Depth Mere Witness.
If you are not Reality-intelligent in the moments of change, then, every time there is a change, you identify with the change.
“I am that change, then,” you think and say.
When the body is suffering, you think and say, “I am suffering.”
When reactive emotion arises, you think and say, “I am angry, I am sorrowful, I am afraid.”
That which—in and As Reality Itself—never changes is, in its superficial daily-ordinary state, constantly presuming itself to be changed, and to be a change.
In this moment, it is painful—in the next moment, it feels good.
The daily-ordinary ego-mind is constantly “self”-identifying pure awareness (or the In-Depth Mere Witness) with the changes that are peripheral to it.
If you inspect awareness itself, if you enter into it most profoundly, you will clearly see that awareness itself does not change, but it Is (simply and only) the In-Depth Mere Witness of changes.
Until awareness Self-Abides As the Mere Witness, even in the context of apparent changes, it presumes itself to be the changes themselves.
The Ultimate (or Perfect) Realization of the Witness Consciousness is associated with the process of understanding and addressing the very same structure of the body-mind-“self” that is already obvious through the “consideration” of awareness.
The structure that is already obvious exists in a field of Absolute Unity.
All the parts observed are themselves parts of fields, elementals of one kind or another.
The parts do not exist separately, but only as multiple manifestations (or modifications) of universals.
This is the implication of the understanding that existence is a Unity.'
