Witness-Consciousness
We are Consciousness Itself
I was not born. I cannot die. I did not begin. I will not end. I Am. I Am Beyond form, quality, and description. I Am. I Am Consciousness. I Am Love-Bliss. I Am smaller than the atom. I Am larger than the universe. I Am. I Am. I Am.
You are not the one who wakes, or dreams, or sleeps.
You Are the actionless and formless Mere Witness of the three common states — of waking, dreaming, and sleeping — and all other apparent contents and "experiences" associated with them.
No matter what arises — waking, dreaming, or sleeping, no matter what arises — you are the Witness of it, Prior to it, not bound, not separate, the Only Condition that is Self-Evident, that is non-separate and Indivisible.
"Right Life Transcends The Three Great Myths of Human ego-Culture" Part 9, The Aletheon
Your problems and your questions only arise because you forget Consciousness. You presume you are the body — but, in reality, you are only witnessing the body.
Death is utterly acceptable to consciousness and life. There has been endless time of numberless deaths, but neither consciousness nor life has ceased to arise. The felt quality and cycle to death has not modified the fragility of flowers, even the flowers within the human body. Therefore, one's understanding of consciousness and life must be turned to that utter, inclusive quality, that clarity and wisdom, that power and untouchable gracefulness this evidence suggests. We must cease to live in our superficial and divided way, seeking and demanding only consciousness and life in the present form we grasp, avoiding and resisting what appears to be the end of consciousness and life in death.
Insight is when you break through the molecular confusion associated with your own biological existence and Realize the "Intoxicated" Glory of Mere Existence.
Consciousness is not located until it is utterly set free from identification with separateness, with egoity, with the knot of self-contraction, the knot of the body-mind.
