How am I not my experiences or my life if you shouldnāt separate experiences/seeming from awareness? Saying that awareness is real and the experiences or anything awareness can perceive is unreal does create duality though, you are separating ārealā from āunrealā. If everything and nothing is awareness then by that metric I should be taking everything and nothing as seriously as possible because itās all āmeā.
The whole if a table is made of wood doesnāt negate that itās made of wood analogy also makes no sense to me, at its core itās made of wood but itās still a table though and a table is different from a chair made of the same wood. Then it would be said to focus on the coreā¦ but why would I need to focus on the core if everything is made from that core as well, why shouldnāt I focus on the unreal when itās said to be made from the real? If itās not separate from real then I should be taking it seriously just as much as I do the ārealā.
Why would I have to notice awareness if everything is awareness?
You are delving so deep into unnecessary semantics, I explained thoroughly how you arent your experiences or life simply because you are beyond them by virtue of the fact that You are effortlessly Aware of and necessary for these experiences to even BE.
You would have to notice everything is awareness because prior to me telling you or you reading about it, you did not know. Simple as that; noticing is remembrance, recognition, realization.
Noticing is not some profound act of labor, the same way you notice the sun is in the sky is the same way you notice everything is Awareness, just simply looking and acknowledging it has always been so. Stop complicating what is plain and simple.
The unreal and the real being separate things is also unreal, a better word would be imaginaryā the point is You cannot ascertain these narratives as truth and that is why we say they are unreal.
Focusing on that which is not truth is pointless and unnecessary, who genuinely cares for delusion? Certainly not you or I , so why do you conclude that focusing on that which is fundamentally unreal is wise? Or remotely the same as focusing on that which is true?
I do not know about you but I simply didnāt care for the stories because I realized they held no truth. That is all there is to it. Your argument is that focusing on that which is unreal should be the same thing as focusing on that which is real since there is no separation but how would you even come to this conclusion if you didnāt step out of the unreal to look at it as unreal?
I usually do not reply asks like this because it comes off as though there is an intention to miss the point i constantly pass across and I find that to be tiring.
I also do not understand the table wood analogy you used, but from what I could graspā when gurus use that analogy they are demonstrating that just like how a wooden table and chair appear different but are ultimately still wood so also does the seeming world appear real, solid and dualistic but is ultimately just Awareness.
