What is awareness?

Can I find awareness? I look in my thoughts. No, it’s not there. I look in my feelings. It’s, I look in my body notes, Where is it? And you, you, you, you are, you’re looking for awareness as a, as a, as a very subtle experience. No awareness is the one that is looking, it can never be looked at. So your mind has to relax back into it. It cannot go forwards towards. But the, the one that seeks awareness is an object, is like a, is like a current in the ocean in search of water. Your mind is already swimming in that for which it is in search, but you can never find it as an object of your experience. So it’s more a relaxing than a seeking.
