You can use this simple self realization technique
to very quickly experience yourself
as formless consciousness:
"The nature of awareness
is freedom from identification.
If you are aware of anger,
then you are not identified with anger.
If you are aware of a thought,
you are not identified with the thought.
The thought arises, the anger arises
but it has nothing to do with you.
Identification
is always happening
at an unconscious level.
You are walking to work
and unconsciously identification is there.
'My name is Jon, I am a dentist,
I am on Main st. where I turn left to go to my office...'
Always definingrn'This is me.'
'This is who I am;
this is where I am;
this is what I am doing;
this is where I am going;
this is where I have been.'
So instead of practicing awareness
from the perspective of identity
to attain self realization,
you could try consciously
not being identified with anything.
You allow the thoughts,
body and sensations
to be as they are
but you consciously
disidentify with them.
'This body is not mine,
this name is not mine,
these thoughts are not mine,
this emotion is not mine,
this belief is not mine.'
Not as words to repeat
but to consciously not identify
with anything at all.
If you choose
to not have an identity
then awareness is automatic
and self realization is easily attained.
You will experience life
in a completely different way.
By consciously letting go of all identity,
you exist as energy,
as formless consciousness
completely free of egorn& all the conflict and separateness
that goes with it.
Blessings,
Kip"
