" No-me: Now-ing: Awareness of awareness, that is: " Eradicating the three (imagined) states (waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep), dwell in the fourth state (turiya - awareness). This is the unparalleled devotional worship (awareness of awareness). " Raag Raamkalee 908 (http://www.waheguru.org/) ~no-me~ Yes and no, I'd say. Because there is a " sparkle " to consciousness when awareness is open to the *extremely rapid* updates constantly going on. The sense of " sparkle " is due to the extremely rapid updating of consciousness, it would seem. When immersion in Now is so complete that all is shimmering with the sparkle of presence, then there *is no time* for any " I am feeling X " . It is all moving too fast.
