> What's awakening about? Direct experiential insight into the nature of reality, of what life “is”. Pre-conceptual apperception of what we are, in essence. Resolution to questions like “what am I”, “what is life”, etc > What's the insight? There are many! They might be broadly characterized as varying degrees of realizing our ideas about reality (even things like the idea of “me” and “you”) aren’t actually true despite potentially seeming very true. Conceptually, that insight can look like going from “I’m me!’ to something like “I’m the spacious awareness that observes ‘me’!”. At a more subtle, less conceptual level, it can show up as a _perception_ (not a thought) of unity: felt-experience that the thing which is looking, the thing which is seen, and the process of seeing are all one thing, that all of life is essentialy one movement (“everything is ‘me’!”) More subtle than that, the entire somatic experience of “self” (even the type of “self” that experiences unty) can fall away. This is impossible to directly describe in words but can be talked around by some of its effect: there is no more psychological fear of death, great somatic release of tension, etc.
