There is only one state of being

[Guest guest]

There is only one state of being. There is not

a single moment when one is not conscious

of being. What we are in our sentient state is

the consciousness of being present. When

this conscious awareness is aware of sensory

forms, it operates as witnessing. When it

identifies itself with a witnessing organism as

a separate entity, it operates as an individual

person who suffers and enjoys.
