[Mind's Eye] Awareness

The mind as we know it, has two aspects: It's contents and the awareness of
those contents. The contents are all thoughts and images. That's all thats
there. The contents are completely the energy flow of stimulus-response
conditioning. The awareness is not part of the conditioned flow of thought,
yet it is the only cognitive element within the mind. Awareness doesn't
think, but it is the vivid clarity of thought itself. When awareness is
reflecting upon itself, the cognitive quality of thought is no longer
illuminating the mind. Without the illumination of awareness, the mind does
not appear, it can't because awareness is the only cognitive element in the
mind to notice mental events. So as awareness settles within itself fully,
as the simple, naked presence of attentive clarity, mind and mental events
cease naturally. The contents of mind cannot be found as the light of
awareness is illuminating only itself.
