The mind is this highly-advanced subtle body of Maya capable of reflecting consciousness
back to pure consciousness in an act of self-awareness like a total eclipse of the sun.
The moon shining on the earth is called consciousness.
The sun shining on the moon is called awareness (pure consciousness).
The moon shining on the sun is called absolution (enlightenment).

The Aparoksanubhuti is like a rock opera and 25-28 is one of its gospel songs.
It's like the opposite of Urge for Going which I thought about today as fall is falling down out there.
Materialism is the blues but consciousness is gospel.

Consciousness is a reflection of awareness.
Thought is an appearance in consciousness.
Belief is a form of thought.
Pure Consciousness not only witnesses the duality of the dreaming states but the absence of duality in the deep sleep state.
There's a time for thinking you're the body-mind and a time for healing; there's a time for believing in a Santa Claus and a time for revelation.

Regarding this reflection of consciousness in the subtle body of the mind, I-know is the reflection of cit in satcitananda (called the knower), as I-am is the reflection of sat.
I Am and the Knower is like this main connection between electricity of satcitananda and the body-mind appliance. In other words, it's where where the real meets maya.
I Am and I Know are bus stops of meditation. Nisargadatta says relax and watch the I Am—reality is right behind it. Advaita says the same about the knower and the witness.
