Awareness’s knowing of its own being is the simplest, most obvious, intimate and ordinary experience, which all people have in common. In fact, it is not an experience that a person has. Awareness is the experiencing element in all experience. It is awareness that has the experience of being aware, that is, it is awareness that knows itself in each one of us. The simple knowing of our own being–its knowing of itself in us–shines in the mind as the knowledge ‘I am’ or ‘I am aware’, and in our feelings as the experience of peace, happiness or love.
