1. I have never known non existence. I can conceptualize non existence, but I can never know it.
2. Awareness implies existence. The one thing I cannot deny is that I exist.
3. Experience informs me that something does not come from nothing. Therefore, this universe, observed as coming forth from the big bang, did not come from nothing.
4. Everything I experience seems to have a cause. It does not seem plausible that there was no cause.
5. Whatever is created in this universe has to be created by that original cause. That cause, whatever it is, exists, and I cannot be other than wholly that.
6. Knowing that I am That, whatever That is, I have no choice but to surrender to That. Which means I accept everything without choice.
7. The limitations of this body are a contraction only, of That. When the limitations cease on death, That still remains. Knowing that I have never been anything but That, whatever That is, I remain that.
8. As a limited person I experience no free will. How could I? I did not create this set of limitations, this focal point of consciousness. It's a setup I inherited.
9. However, as I can be nothing but that which created me, That being the essence of what I am, I am freedom itself.
10. I am this presence, this awareness. I do not imagine it limited to this body/mind. When this body/mind goes, It would be presumptuous to believe that the remaining presence awareness in all beings is not me.

This was perhaps not a very clear way of stating that "Awareness/Conscious" is primary. This means that even though I appear as an individual, a person, this appearance is but a form in me Awareness. In other words, I am the field of awareness in which objects appear. These objects have consciousness, but it is not limited to the appearance. It is the consciousness of all beings, eternal, unlimited, unaffected. I hope this is clearer.
