Realization

"And note what we have done: by taking away identification with memory and personality, we have stripped identification with the past and the future. We are left only with the present. Without a past or a future, who am I? The answer seems to be, I am bare attention, I am pure consciousness. The experiencer. Atman. Note that this “self” is itself unexperienceable.

Moreover, this identity is essentially impersonal."
