thoughts of beings. You've got a concept of what to think awareness is. Well, you have to explain it in words. How do you do it? All right. Are you unaware right now? If you're unaware... If you're not other-ware, you must be aware. So you need to look for it. No, I don't. No, I'm not. So it's there. Now, how is it? Is it any shape or any form or any pattern or any concept at all?
