FORMLESS AWARENESS GOOD, CONSCIOUSNESS BAD

The psyche is synonymous
With the duality of Consciousness: 
Subject and Object.
But Formless Awareness is 
Who we really are.

The distinction between
Consciousness and Formless Awareness
Is simply that of Duality and Non-Duality. 
Consciousness Is focused on ‘things’…
The materialism of our false identity. 

The identity theft of the psyche
Has been going on for so long
We don’t recognize ourselves.*
Thoughts and emotions steal our 
Awareness by day, in dreams by night. 

The psyche identifies with forms
That arise in awareness
Of the thoughts and things of this world. 
Consciousness dissolves into wisdom
As we descend into dreamless sleep.

The true nature of mind is
Utterly bright and utterly vivid.
The Real Self is selfless and formless. 
Buddhists aspire to this luminosity
Of the Irreducible Self.  

Buddhism teaches that if  you realize
The formless nature of your Being
You will transcend Death.
By Relinquishing the false identity 
Of the psyche, death brings immortality.
