'my' experience is slightly different; the pure awareness just is, can't identify a point of projection for it. It exists independently of anything and everything. The personality then that operates is a separate thing, like a body, with certain actions and perceptions, by virtue of pure consciousness, but more like a convenient shell. As a mundane example, I was looking at a shampoo bottle and realizing that I saw it as such because of habit and convenience. What it was actually was this part linear, part curved 3D object appearing in spacetime with some colors on it, with letter representations on it...and not really even that... Anyway, instead of seeing the creation unfold each time I perceive it, which is a lot closer to reality, I conveniently keep stuff in many of the same old buckets that they used to be in, in order to make sense of it all and allow mw to continue to live a life integrated with others around me. That's what I mean by personality being a convenient habit. Like 'the shampoo bottle'.
