#1 All objective experience is known. We are aware of our experience. Knowing or being aware is the continuous element in all changing knowledge and experience. It remains present throughout all changing experience, just as a screen remains present throughout all movies.

#2 Knowing or being aware is the primary ingredient in all knowledge and experience. It is the background on which all knowledge and experience takes place. It is the medium within which all experience appears. It is the knowing element in all knowledge, and the experiencing element in all experience.

#3 The experience of knowing or being aware is referred to as consciousness or awareness in many spiritual traditions. The words consciousness and awareness are often used to refer to the experience of knowing or being aware, but they should be understood to refer directly to the obvious, familiar, and non-objective experience of knowing or being aware that all beings share.

#4 The experience of being aware is known as I. I am aware of the thought of my friend. I am aware of the memory of childhood. I am aware of the feeling of sorrow, loneliness, or shame. I am aware of the image of my home. I am aware of the sensation of pain or hunger. I am aware of the sight of my room or the sound of traffic.
