Hello Dan,

It appears that you are saying that there is only Awareness, or the I

Am or whatever name one attaches to 'that which cannot be named'. And

that is true, there is nought but that which IS. But you cannot say

that 'we' do not exist conceptually, as 'we' are conversing, 'we' do

exist in some manner, even though it be as dreamers in the dream.

Our appearance is phenomenal, apparent only, & that is still a form

of existence, so 'we' can neither be said to be nor not to be. First,

we are Not, & it is because 'we' are not that 'we' can 'appear' to

be. The 'I Am' is 'Pure Awareness', that which IS, but it is also

everything else, be it phenomenal or not. there is not 2, nor one,

but Unity. Form is emptiness & emptiness is form, & vice versa. I

realize that what IS is Awareness, & that is does nothing, being the

source of all. But the world of phenomena is existent 'as phenomena',

it cannot be dispensed with as it may not be that which IS but it

does have an 'existence'. It is experiencing, SEEING, the functioning

of that which IS, & as it is all that IS it cannot see itself, all

that can be 'seen' is Void, i.e., Subjectivity looking at itself &

being all that is consequently seeing 'no-thing' - dreaming.
