Watch The Clouds
Carve out some time to find a patch of grass and lean up against a tree.
Leave your phone behind. All the messages and notifications will be there when you return.
Let your mind wander as you immerse yourself in the original screensaver: the sky.
Watch the clouds pass on by.
Notice the different shapes they can take.
Notice the various meanings you can derive from these temporary forms.
A dragon. A flower. An elephant.
Notice the moments where the clouds look just like balls of cotton and nothing more.
Our lives can sometimes feel like this.
We see crystalized meaning. Things make sense.
Other times we see pure potential or nothing at all. Something that has yet to take a discernable form.
Sometimes events in our lives won't make sense until some time has passed.
It's okay to be a in state of not-knowing.
Even if things seem ominous, the dark storm clouds eventually pass on through.
All of life moves in seasons and cycles.
There is so much wisdom in the phrase "This too shall pass."
It's a reminder to appreciate our blessings while we have them.
It's a flame of hope that all suffering is temporary.
And sometimes watching the clouds is enough to gain a seed of this perspective.
To put down our chronic worries and petty grievances.
To discover the beauty that is here and now.

If I may respond. Even if you are in a coma you still are aware. You can NEVER not be aware. You are just not aware that you are aware, because the brain is not allowing you to think thoughts. Think of dreamless sleep. Are you aware? The answer is yes, but once again the brain shuts down for a period of time, not allowing you to consciously experience it. This is very hard to express with language, because language is using speech which emanates from thoughts. Remove all the past conditioning & you will understand with practice & a qualified teacher. Best of luck.

Vedanta and Samkhya on subject-object
discrimination
The oldest traditions of India call the subject as Purusha and the object as
Prakriti. They are usually translated as consciousness and matter. But it is
very important to realize that even the thoughts and emotions belong to the
category of ‘object’. So, the word ‘matter’ can be little misleading. This
discrimination of purusha and prakriti was first used by the Samkhya school
of thought, which was adopted by other schools like yoga.

The English word soul
means a non-physical entity that resides in the body. But the word Atman,
which actually means the Self (the subject) and synonymous with the word
Brahman is actually translated as soul in English. Many Indians also
understand the word Atman as an entity living inside the body. But Atman
is not an entity or an object; it is the subject or the observer self

When someone is using his finger to point to the moon, a one year old kid
would look at his finger. It cannot understand that it is supposed to look at
the direction that the finger is pointing to. But as an adult you can
understand what you are supposed to do. When a spiritual teacher is
instructing you, you need to treat his words as finger pointing to the moon
too. The reason this is mentioned is because people often get too attached to
the words and concepts.

If you observe your mind, you will see that all you notice is a constant flow
of thoughts and sensations. Both Buddhism and Science agree that there is
really no consistent, unchanging, solid self (the self with the lower case ’s’)
that exists. This may be very hard to believe or accept because the idea of a
separate individual is so deep rooted that you may consider this as a joke. It
may even feel threatening because this self-concept is something that you
always want to protect and enhance.

B Any kind of feeling whatever.. Any kind of perception whatever...Any
kind of determination whatever… Any kind of consciousness
whatever, whether past, future or presently arisen, whether gross or
subtle, whether in oneself or external, whether inferior or superior,
whether far or near must, with right understanding how it is, be
regarded thus: 'This is not mine, this is not I, this is not my self.'

There is a term in Psychology called Cognitive dissonance. This is a mental
discomfort that you experience while you perform an action that contradicts
with the belief that you have already, especially when the belief is about
yourself. You may also experience cognitive dissonance when you
encounter facts that contradict with your previous beliefs. Cognitive
dissonance happens because of your efforts to maintain a consistent self
when such a thing doesn’t exist. One symptom of a liberated life is that you
will be free of cognitive dissonance after it happens.
######################
As you do this everyday, pay attention to the unconscious thought patterns,
pay attention to the games that your mind is playing and pay attention to the
need to become as somebody. This is a very interesting practice and a
powerful exploration of your own mind. As you bring awareness to the
different layers of mind, you will become more and more peaceful.
