When you become aware that your thoughts, ideas and imagination are outside your awareness you will have understood the meaning of “I AM”. You will know the difference between reality and the state of illusions created by the mind and defended by the ego. It is like waking up from a dream in which you realize you were dreaming while you were in the dream, but now you are awake and you know the difference because the awareness has shifted from the dream state to the normal conscious state of living. You realize they are two places thinly divided by your attention to them.
It is not necessary to die or completely surrender your ego and mind for awareness to happen. They can co-exist, but you will prefer to bypass them to discover all that is contained within your awareness. The dividing line between the ego/mind and awareness is the choice of where you place your attention. Do you totally place it in thoughts or do you allow yourself to explore the feelings within. Identification is the result of the choice of where you place your attention and that determines the reality you will experience.
The longer that you remain in your awareness the deeper will become your communion with existence and a new reality or identity will emerge. This identity is a bond beyond thoughts, ideas and even imagination. It is not a creation of any imagery within the mind, but of the substance of existence itself. It is the real deal.
