Your Real Situation

It appears that you are associated with conditions—in the states of waking, dreaming, and sleeping.

However, none of those conditions last—and, therefore, you cannot be any of those conditions.

You are that which appears to be modified in the form of all conditional phenomena—you are Consciousness Itself.

The entire waking state arises within Consciousness Itself.

The entire dreaming state arises within Consciousness Itself.

The entire sleeping state arises within Consciousness Itself.

And, when any condition in any of those three states—or (otherwise) when any one of those states itself—passes, Consciousness Itself remains.

Consciousness Itself never changes.

Consciousness Itself is always already the case.
