Episode notes
Awareness Is The Unchanging Background
- Awareness itself never changes while the contents of experience constantly change.
- Awareness is the constant background (like a screen) in which all experiences arise.
Awareness Precedes Body And Mind
- You cannot experience the body apart from awareness, so awareness cannot be a product of the body.
- Awareness is primary and all bodily or mental phenomena are secondary appearances within it.
Test Awareness Through Direct Investigation
- Trust and investigate your own experience rather than accepting theories about awareness.
- Use direct exploration to be convinced by evidence of your own awareness.
