What nonconceptual awareness means to me is what the late J Krishnamurti taught me: to look at something non-verbally. Usually we look at a flower or any object including living beings by naming them, i.e. through a word. We have practically created an image in our minds about everything in the phenomenal world, and we observe them through that image. We never question whether the 'observer' is an imagined non-entity or a real entity.
In the moments of my intense observation, I have often felt that the 'observer' and the 'observed' have merged in each other; in fact, only the 'observed' remains and the 'observer' takes a backseat, rather passes into oblivion and anonymity.
