Meditation: The levels of awareness: Awareness. Awareness of awareness. Awareness of awareness of awareness. We humans dwell on this third, most complex level. It is between perspective and the recognition of that perspective that an "I" develops. "I am aware," we say. It is the awareness of self that makes us humans most divinely clear, yet at the same time potentially most clouds us. What does this mean? When I think of awareness, I think of a recognizing of what is to be beheld. I consider things as being distinguished at a level which reveals more of what is to be perceived. In this sense, there can be levels of awareness, if we first consider the distinguishing to be made amongst sensory data. We then consider the way thought distinguishes these perceptions by forming associations and representations. And then we consider the distinguishing to be made amongst thought. Who does the organizing? There are several names for this seat. The name I shall use presently is "emptiness".
