Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 one is aware of witness Self (by which one get the opportunity to " see " something) >>> So witness Self is aware of witness Self? <<< -one is aware of oneself (only) and knowing that being in One world with the " other one " ....at this same time....connected and related and...and... >>> you are saying one is aware of oneself and at the same time aware of a relatedness connection with another? OK But it is also possible for there to be no awareness " of oneself " per se, for there to be awareness/consciousness without any sense of " this pertains to myself " and " that pertains to the other " . What I am saying there, though, is very strange and impossible to imagine. Once the " sense of oneself " disappears then the same sort of things seem to go on, but it is irrevokably different as well.
