But you are beyond what you see. How can you see yourself ? There comes a point where you can feel yourself. But it will be emptiness. Because it is the Self. The one beyond everything is you. For example : Lets say you are the mouth. You can taste all the food coming in. All the sweet, spice, saltiness and bitterness. But when there is nothing in the mouth, can the mouth taste itself ? So is pure awareness. You are unknowable. But only you are the reality. What passes through the mouth is not reality. The mouth always remains.
