Awakened awareness is a nondual awareness beyond the structure of knower and known—beyond the ordinary self. It is also beyond the kinds of meditative selves that we set up. Have you noticed that we set up a kind of a self in meditation: the one who tracks things, the one who knows things? This is very important and helpful, but it’s still a kind of construction. Awakened awareness goes beyond that, and beyond many of the structures of ordinary experience: time, space, the sense of self, ordinary objects, and so forth. Samādhi and insight practices really build toward and lead to this kind of awareness.
