AWARENESS

WHAT IS 'PRESENT' IN THE AWARENESS?

When one 'observes' an apple tree in a garden, a thought arises, "This is an apple tree", using his past knowledge of apple tree and the images of such trees.

That thought or perception of "This is an apple tree" creates a 'mental state' of Awareness of the apple tree in his mind retaining the perception and the image of present apple tree, which he observed a few moment before.

He continues to retain the Awareness of the Apple tree, even when he sits in the garden, where the tree is to his back.

So what is 'present' in his Awareness is the past perception and the past image of the tree.

Hence, the present Awareness is the perpetuation of the Past awareness retained of the Past perception.

Therefore Awareness is Past of the Past. A 100 % dead thing.
