That is, each unconditioned awareness has specific qualities and aspects that make it uniquely identifiable. And further, it would appear, each awareness possibly has the capacity to recognize other unique awarenesses.
Is that reasonable?"
Yes of course there is individuality, at least apparently! And in an impermanent way or a dreamlike way. What this unconditioned awareness allows is the full enjoyment of what you are in the moment because it is untouched by it. So just enjoy the cigar but don't get depressed if you can get no more! And yes as an individual you are not me but for this unconditioned awareness in its simplicity, we're on the same ground. As for being reasonable...i don't know...maybe i ingested too much crazy wisdom!Heh. Don't these notions have impact on some of the discussions here? That is, if there is such a thing as individuality, it flies in the face of non-dualism, for one thing...in addition, it seems to me, it also impacts the notion of essence being empty, or of there being no essence at all.
Ingested crazy wisdom, eh? I hesitate to ask.
