Discovery 7

Can a face see itself without a mirror? Likewise, Can the Absolute Source witness itself without a mirror?

Perhaps not. Absolute (Source) which is no thought (pure awareness) may not be able to say that it is a SELF. Total non-duality cannot witness itself as a Self.

I am writing this to make a distinction between these 2 subtly similar but nevertheless distinct experiences. With regards to the Absolute (Source), which I called the Eternal Presence, there is a 'experience' of all-pervading infiniteness that has NO centre.
However, when the thinking mind tries to regain this experience of Absoluteness, it did not and will never manage to capture it. By trying to do so, the thinking mind is attempting to encapsulate its parent (the Absolute)... which is simply impossible. This is because the Absolute is beyond conceptual thinking.

What could happen instead, is that a reflection of the Absolute is being experienced. This reflection of the Absolute is the 'I AM' presence. To me, 'I AM' is the thought of the Absolute without any other thinking contents.

'I AM' Presence could be the place where THE SELF is being experienced. It is the part of us that give us the sense of 'I exist'. In the experiencing of 'I AM', awareness has a point of reference (centre), thus giving us a sense of individual existence.
