Awareness reflects. It witnesses thoughts and emotions. It does not own them anymore than a mirror owns your face. Awareness does not cling to images. It witnesses only. But you are not the witness any more than you are your thoughts and emotions. There is no you and this frightens the me of the body. It fears oblivion. It seeks to be real by creating desires and expectations from the world in which it exists. These lead to the pleasures and pains, happinesses and sorrows that constitute your life story. This story is how you view yourself. You call the viewer the self. Your life is made personal by the self you have created from your existence. It gives you a sense of reality where there is none. To break the cycles of your life story, let go of the self. Witness your life without accepting it as real. The self is not your reality, neither is the witness nor the soul. All that you experience is transitory. Existence is a thought of separation in consciousness. It is the energy of awareness in the eternal field of infinite possibility. This energy, which does not exist, is your true nature. You are the movement of thought in consciousness that becomes your existence. You are the dancing that is the dance. You have no fixed center of personality. Awareness in consciousness has no controls or attachments. It has no place or time. It is simply nowhere in the emptiness that is nowhere. The energy of awareness is you. Do not seek it as if it were an entity. There is no you there, or anywhere at any time. You do not exist either in form or in spirit. You are real. You are the witnessing of your existence. You are aware without being.
