Read what I wrote to Xeno. Ever consider that Nisargadatta may be
WRONG? He was a simple man and maybe misused some words by conflating
"awareness" with "being."
Tell us instead what you experience rather than being a spectator to
some guru.

Nisargadatta's words, if true, disagree with your opinion. He clearly
indicates that he see three levels of identity and that consciousness
is the least of the three.
Consciousness cannot have a process it labels "awareness," but
awareness is never dependent upon consciousness. Awareness is prior
to the emergence of consciousness.
These are not EDG'S CONCLUSIONS...these are the statements of Advaita.

I see numberless people. When I look beyond the mind, I see the
witness. Beyond the witness there is the infinite intensity of
emptiness and silence.
Edg: This is the constant teaching of Nisargadatta throughout his
talks: awareness is not consciousness.
