Looking Through A Window

I like Sam Harris' essay and his window analogy. My view is that we are consciousness, so looking for consciousness is silly. Consciousness is free of self. Consciousness in form becomes self and can see self as being separate from consciousness and having consciousness, and can attach all sorts of attributes to itself, but basically self is simply consciousness. I don't know when or how I became aware of that or developed that notion -- I think I heard it and it made sense to me and I nurtured the awareness through reflection. Harris wrote "the intrinsic selflessness of consciousness." It helps me to remind myself that consciousness is constantly taking form, and that form is self. Self is an appearance or illusory and anything more or other than that is what I put onto it.
