The Prism of Consciousness · Where Am I · Who & What Am I ▹

White light. Cast through prisms into countless shapes – and there you are. Inquire – "Where am I, what am I, and who am I?" Don't spell it out. Shift your attention to the inquiry. Its essence: a perspective. Enter into the underlying field of awareness. This is self-inquiry. This process leads to your self-realization — and the realization that there's no self to be realized in any of your domains of operation. No need to establish our nest of identity in them. ⛲Living Awareness ▹

Meet Your Five Shells of Being · Inquiry Beyond the Cocoon ▹

Seek the ultimate inquirer. Recognize deeper and deeper planes of awareness. We speak of five bodies and five sheaths of the underlying raw consciousness. Your physical food-made body. Vital body of embodied dynamic energy. Mental body of feelings and flavors. Rational body of thought-forms. Causal body of uncognized latent impressions. As your attention shifts between them, inquire: "Where am I, and what am I there?" Also, who am I? Who is, what is, and why? ⛲Living Awareness ▹

Descent of Consciousness · Capsule of Your Little Self ▹

Consciousness, the underlying potential. Awareness, our inner atmospheres. Cognition, mechanisms sorting out the structures of our existence. Neutral processes – there is no "you" there yet.

What Self-Inquiry Is & Is Not · Beyond Mental Affirmations ▹

Self-inquiry is not a verbal or intellectual exercise. You won't reach self-realization by the mechanical repetition of "Who am I". Nor will you attain self-realization by disconnected philosophical inquiries. The core practice is the simple attending to the focal point of your attention. Returning to the center of the ground of being of your ongoing experience. Seek the ultimate inquirer. Recognize deeper and deeper planes of awareness. ⛲Living Awareness ▹

The Stack of Our Sentience · Pin Down Your Inner Spheres ▹

What about awareness — or consciousness — or cognition? Terms with countless definitions. We discuss these words at length. We don't review the actual "what is" — we debate over pointless pointers. Then, for consciousness, for awareness, for cognition – my working definitions in describing the stack of our sentient experience. Unified non-particular potential. Framing containers for our conscious dynamics. The concrete cognitive processes. 🧩What About... ▹

Wherever You Are – OK! Be There – Recognize That! ▹

Wherever you are, whatever you face – be there, recognize that. What need is there for awareness to be rooted anywhere else but here? Handle the present on top priority – be here. 🪁Walkie Talkie ▹
