ToK,
Assisted by a long-standing dialogues with Nik and Rob my appreciation of non-duality is improving.
I recently created a diagram that helps me represent various layers of abstraction that distance us from encountering reality as it is (isness).
Although I have yet to attain pure awareness, I better understand it as contact with reality unmitigated by layers of abstraction.
Pure awareness is entering from the right to access reality as it is undistorted (no lens) by mentally constructed layers of abstraction.
Although I have more to (un) learn, I hope sharing this diagram, article, and insight is helpful to some.
Thanks,
Lee Beaumont

Hi TOK Folks,
Given some of the exchanges on “pure awareness” and ‘isness” and nonduality, you might find this blog to be of interest:
Best,
Gregg
