Focused Awareness and Layers of Identity

I’ve noticed that in meditation there seems to be a focused awareness behind the worldly persona. Is there another layer of identity between infinite consciousness and the finite mind? Rupert says: ‘The way awareness focuses itself or directs its attention is through the mind. Awareness cannot focus its attention without rising in the form of the mind. The mind is the mechanism through which awareness narrows its field and focuses on an object. Prior to the arising of the mind, there’s no focusing of awareness.’
