The reason we think that awareness is nothing is that we think that all of this around us is something. In the waking state there are no things but just consciousness. Deep sleep is not a non conscious nothing. The belief that it is I the body that is experiencing is the real problem. Because we see with our eyes and when we close our eyes we don’t see for that reason we believe that we reside just behind the eyes and we feel that we as a body are aware. We don’t realize that I-awareness is aware. If there If there is a lingering feeling that I awareness is in the body we won’t get it right. The body is experienced not the experiencer. One’s entire experience in New York seems to confirm that belief that I is in the body and experiences it that way. That’s absolutely the crux of the matter. If this knot is untied everything becomes clear. Creativity absolutely is true. Awareness is empty like the TV screen is entirely transparent therefore anything can be produced on it.
