Just saw a 10 minute video courtesy of Akemi's Robert Scheinfeld course. Brutal discourse on object identification using examples of sound and hearing,
and describing them as object and awareness as not. Yet, doing so out of discriminating mind, giving the impression of awareness as something separate. I contrasted his talk (he inquired with a poor student who was rendered clueless by the machine-like inquiries) with my own direct experience in the moment from where comes my view of self as all that I am aware of, constantly changing in the moment. My experience is opposed to his rendition of awareness as that which never changes and is always there, in contrast to thoughts and objects that come and go. It will take some work to dismantle his false teachings however. He has built up a sophisticated set of concepts, admirably so, for someone who hasn't attained full "awakening." (IMHO).
THE ONLY CONSTANT, NEVER CHANGING, ALWAYS PRESENT, NO THING AND EVERYTHING, IS ABSOLUTE STILLNESS BEYOND ALL WORDS, CONCEPTS AND BEYOND BEINGNESS ITSELF. This is, in my present moment of "awareness," that which is unknown, unidentifiable, and beyond awareness.
NOTE TO SELF: See Rupert's interview Buddha at the Gas Pump, and the chapter in "Conversations on Non-Duality."
