Just as all images on a screen are made only of the screen itself, everything in your experience arises in and is made of the luminous empty space-like presence of awareness that you are. You, infinite awareness, seem to divide yourself into subject and object, mind and matter, in order to bring the world which lies in potential within you into existence. A thought emerges from awareness, exists in awareness, and vanishes back into awareness – it is a temporary modulation of awareness itself with no substance other than pure awareness. The same is true of bodily sensations and emotions. Remove the narrative from emotions and labels from sensations, and what remains is just a pulsation of yourself in yourself – a modulation of awareness, a ripple within the ocean made only of the ocean. Everything shines with the light of pure knowing with which it is known.
