Then objective consciousness is the contact of the mind with de object within herself but, with the witness. The witness is the action of observing the objects, images, forms. > > Mind/ego > Mind is the tool to build all the things that are ready within the Self. As all the things are ready within the Self, then the Self is self satisfied and do not need do anything. But like all the things are no ready within the mind, then the mind is not self satisfied. > Ego is all the creation of the mind as thoughts, objects, images, forms. > > RESUME > As the Self is self satisfied and do not need do anything, then in the moment that we are satisfied, we are the Self. When We are not satisfied we are in domination of the mind, We are attached by desire or fear. > As we can see is very simple the play. > The awareness " the consciousness in the Self " is the Supreme Reality. When we get these concepts we become the Supreme Reality and we know that in the Reality there is not to do, in the mind all appear and desappear and nothing is. > > If you have any questions please put it lovely. > > Best Regards > > So Ham > > Swami Nirgunananda > Hi Nirgunananda If I understand this correct, then awareness is consciousness without attachment to objects (thoughts, images, sense perceptions, emotions e t c). But in awareness there is still the awareness of these objects even though there is no attachment to them, is it not? Could we say that " myself " is attachment to _personal_ objects in past and future, and that the Self is attachment to _all_ objects as they are in the present moment? /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
