      I’d say all of that is ancillary and potential w/in the recognition of identity in contentless awareness, depending on established behavior.

      1/9 OK. As you know, neurologically, there is no such thing as "contacting pure awareness.” That can’t actually happen. That's just a

      2/9 concept. In experience, however, you can only contact awareness through an experience of something. (Even if that something is nothing.)

      4/9 the way you're contacting it. For example many, many teachers point out nondual awareness (NDA) through use of space, or spaciousness.

      5/9 But as you've pointed out, that's not actually a quality of conscious awareness. You can just as easily notice NDA in total contraction.

      9/9 nondual fundmentalism—it's the only true Truth. I'm not so sure about it.

          The 3rd person view is beautiful & simple but none of us are having that experience.
