Awareness (also known as Presence) is an inner witnessing which exists within the background of your daily experience. Because our minds are in a constant state of thinking, our awareness is ordinarily “veiled” by our thinking resulting in us misidentifying who we are with our thinking, which is also known as Ego. When mental and emotional activity is watched through meditation, the open sky of awareness is unveiled, and the vertical dimension of our consciousness is revealed as our real identity.
