Understand and feel yourself as the aware openness within which your thoughts and feelings arise, exist, are made, and into which they vanish. Your sensations – the tingling of your face, temperature on skin, feelings of hunger – all appear in the same aware openness as thoughts. Just as your attention never leaves one space when traveling between chairs in different rooms, it never encounters boundaries between thoughts and sensations. Everything arises from within awareness, not placed into it from outside. We normally believe awareness is located inside the body, but this contradicts experience – the body appears in awareness as sensations. Every perception – sounds, tastes, sights – appears in this same field. Nobody has ever experienced anything other than awareness. Consciousness is indivisible and infinite, with nothing outside itself to limit it. Sense perception divides experience into subject and object, but this division is illusory. The remedy for our sorrow and conflict lies in recognising the unity of being.
