Just to state im not lecturing
Is an Arahant aware or unaware, wouldnt that awareness be pure untarnished knowing?
I think confusion may come from seeing awareness as a thing, its not a thing as you cant really describe awareness you can only experience it
Pure awareness is subtle, hidden because of defilements etc. This i feel is in line with the fact you dont become a stream-winner or Arahant, they are realizations through awareness eventualy leaving only complete knowing, pure awareness
When one is aware there is no i making because there is no grasping as you see things as they are, you see reality. Thats why i feel we practice mindfulness of breathing etc, through this awareness gets deeper and deeper so we see more of reality and so awareness is less and less tarnished because of that vision leading to more awarness and knowing until there is complete knowing of reality or awareness
Nibbana is the putting out of the fires of greed hatred and delusion by seeing things as they are through awareness (and so having no ignorance, craving etc), pure awareness is what is left after
Its the means and in the end all there is, pure conscious awareness, clear knowing of things as they are
No coming or going, no me or mine just seeing things as they are
Once again this is from my understanding im not telling people
