Thought is to awareness what a character in a movie is to the screen: the character is made out of the screen and yet knows nothing of the screen.
Thought is made out of awareness but knows nothing of awareness. So if you want to know what you essentially are, don’t ask your thoughts. They will never give you the right answer.
If you want to know the nature of awareness, you have to ask the one that is aware of awareness, that is, you have to ask awareness itself. Thought can ask the question, but don’t let it answer the question.
