In a previous post, I wrote “I am rested” and “I am tired” even if it’s not really accurate.
It’s more accurate to say that my body is tired, my brain is tired, my system is tired. Or even that this human self is tired.
It’s something happening within the content of experience, within the sense fields.
It’s happening within and as the consciousness I am. It’s all happening within and as what I am.
In daily life and writing, I tend to switch between a more conventional and a more accurate way of talking about it. It just depends on the situation.
The first way of talking about it eases communication since it’s more familiar, and it also tends to reflect and invite identification. If I say “I am tired” I present it as if I – what I more fundamentally am – is tired.
The second way is more accurate and it invites curiosity, exploration, and perhaps even a softening or release of identification. It’s happening to something within my content of experience. It refers to something happening within and as the consciousness I am.
INITIAL NOTES
“I am tired” etc. – slightly misleading
My body is tired, my system is tired
I am not really tired, it’s all happening within and as what I am
As consciousness, I am not tired
It’s something happening within the content of experience, within the sense fields

It’s happening within and as the consciousness I more fundamentally am in my own experience.
