You are not the manifestation, you are its essence

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Brian Thompson.

Just as the eye cannot see itself, neither can mind see itself.

Mind, however, isn’t something tangible or located. Mind is a word used to describe the collective output of ideation and mentation that spontaneously arises within oneself, but it is not the brain itself. It is the continuum of autonomous thought; an aggregate of mental phenomena that is sensed.

And so, mind is actually just another sensory perception. Mind is the sixth sense, no different than sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch. Mind is perceived, but it cannot perceive itself, just as teeth cannot bite themselves, or a finger can not touch itself.

So, what then, is mind perceived by?

The mind appears within consciousness—as all sensations and perceptions do. Mind is a phenomenal appearance within your presence of awareness, which is the noumenon of your entire sense-of-being.

Awareness is your Is-ness.

This noumenal essence—consciousness—is your true Self (as opposed to the imagined-false-self that the egoic-personality asserts itself as, which is nothing more than thought-forms the mind has mistakenly self-identified itself with).

It is this “presence-of-being” that affords you the self-awareness to realize, without even needing to think a thought, that… I Exist.

Awareness does not differ from one person, creature, or plant to the next. It is the very same aware essence that permeates all phenomenal manifestations. Awareness is awareness—it does not change from one biological specimen to the next. It is this formless, empty, nothingness that animates all forms, making them appear to be “something”—but in truth, all forms are impermanent and transient, while their fundamental formless essence remains unchanging; infinite and eternal.

You are consciousness—not a body, nor a brain.

Not a mind, nor its memories. Not its perceptions, nor its experiences—because all such things appear within awareness.
