Episode notes
Non-Dual Meditation
- Realize that everything is consciousness, even seemingly separate objects.
- This non-dual understanding is like realizing that everything in a dream is you, the dreamer.
Awareness vs. World
- Awareness itself is not subject to the characteristics of the world it perceives.
- Though appearing as opposites, the world's existence, revelation, and bliss ultimately come from awareness.
Centering in Awareness
- Moral practices and austerities aim for an effect you can achieve by focusing on awareness.
- Continuously center yourself in awareness rather than just thinking "I am conscious."
