Please provide backup to your views with something from within this tradition as asked. Google searching awareness of awareness brings up a ton of non-related practices and meanings. I am trying to explain my personal understandings of this practice as I have come to experience and understand.
It is too easy to say “you are confused” , this is another thing to let go of when discussing nibannic “experience”.
I doubt you will find anything written or produced by SNG that will back your views regarding awareness.
SNG was not a buddhist, and did not teach Buddhism. Goenka Vipassana is not a Buddhist practice, not one morsel of this teaching is related to Buddhism. To think that it is, is wrong view. SNG understood the sphere of truth that is at the heart of all beings and all religion.
They are all pointing to this basic truth to realize. Buddhists want to use certain words and explanations to put a fence around this teachings, to own it as there own, that they alone are correct, they alone are masters of this ultimate truth. That every other practice/religion is pointing to an inferior state to this “nibannic sphere”
Rules for engagement in discussion, each created rule another fenceboard to protect this or that sect.
The bard fact is that Sayagyi u bah Khin and SNG do not care the least about protecting Buddhism. They care about dhamma and it’s purity, that’s it.
I have met christians/ Muslim’s/ advaidens/ buddhists and non religious types who are equally walking the path, and who have realized this basic inner truth and become happier people for this.
Getting caught up on the words of one monk from this or that tradition or “claiming that this person is only addressing or using this or that particular word as skillful speech while addressing a non buddhist audience is bullshit!
SNG used whatever words he chose to and believed, and he deliberately chose wordings that were inclusive to other traditions and religions to build his worldwide dhamma centres, which are 100% free from Buddhist propaganda. The inner circle of a Vipassana centre is Buddhist free, on the outer circle teachers and students are free to believe and follow this statue or that cross or whatever they prefer, but as is truth within each and everyone of us, so is the inner circle of a Vipassana centre it is pure and religion free.
So find me something from Sayagyi, SNG, or Ledi that contradicts this.
Why would goenka say experience this nibannic peace within if this was dukkha? He’s clearly pointing to God.
The all knowing ever present “awareness” within.
The “I am”.
