CONSCIOUS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Consciousness in us is Brahman.  Not the content of consciousness but consciousness itself, pure consciousness.
   
Consciousness, like Brahman, cannot be divided into parts.  The consciousness that everyone has is the same consciousness.

Consciousness is not aware of itself because Brahman is not aware of itself.

Everyday consciousness, the medium in which thoughts occur, is a "reflection" of the pure consciousness of Brahman.

Shankara teaches that only that which is unchanging is real.  And what is it that is unchanging?  The consciousness that is Brahman, which never leaves us.
