What Is Awareness? (And Why It Matters) | Understanding Consciousness

Here's a strange question: Who's watching your thoughts right now?

You're thinking—thoughts are moving through your mind. But something is aware of those thoughts. What is that?

Today we're exploring awareness—the part of you that never changes. This might sound abstract, but it's actually the most practical thing I can share with you.

Because when you realize you're not your thoughts, everything shifts.

Michael Singer's question: "Who notices you're thinking?"
One practice to try this week: noticing thoughts without being controlled by them

Key insight: Your thoughts change constantly. Your feelings change. Your circumstances change. But awareness? Awareness never changes. It's the constant.

"You are not your thoughts. You are the space in which your thoughts arise." - Anthony de Mello

This is part of my series exploring how minds work and the nature of human experience.

Drawing from wisdom teachers like Michael Singer, Anthony de Mello, Byron Katie, and the understanding that we are not our thinking—we are the awareness observing it.
