Just know that you are the field out of which arises the content of the field, because how do you know there’s anything in the field? You can only know by knowing it. That which has the capacity of knowingness has the capacity for recognition, see. You see, it goes back then to that’s what meditation is. So, contemplation, then, is walking about in the world in a meditative state in which one’s focus is on the source out of which the entire phenomena is arising. Outside of time, outside of conceptualization, outside of worryingness, outside of giving it names. There’s awareness of awareness, but there’s no awareness of an “I” being aware. That’s a mentation that you add on top of it.
