Pure unbroken awareness

How is the Self- pure unbroken awareness
__

D: How to reach that centre, where what you call ‘The Consciousness’ – the ‘I’-‘I’- arises? Is it by simply thinking “Who am I?”

M: Yes, it will take you up. You must do it with a calm mind – mental calmness is essential.

D: How does that consciousness manifest itself when that centre – the Heart – is reached? Will I recognise it?

M: Certainly, as pure consciousness, free from all thoughts. 

It is pure unbroken awareness of your Self, rather of pure Being – there is no mistaking it when pure.
