If we reverse this figure/ ground, a shift occurs. Now allow awareness to have the experience of being “you.” “You” are being held within awareness. Awareness is not inside you looking out, but rather it is both inside and outside equally. The sense-of-you is one experience among many within awareness. Awareness is not under your control; it preexists your influence. Nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed. You did not need to go anywhere or do anything to make this switch. It is a simple release of the horizontal into the vertical.
