Just recently it dawned on me

what this Awareness business is all about. I realized that I had been laboring under a misconception that Awareness was ‘mine’ -- so I was trying to grasp Awareness as a personal experience, not realizing that it’s as impersonal as can be. Once this mistake was recognized, it seems everything clicked into place: there’s Awareness, and there are objects in Awareness, and to identify myself as an object in Awareness (including human body, thoughts, sensations, etc.) is simply ludicrous. I am the ‘no thing’ that perceives and makes space for all the ‘things.’
