[00:00:14]It doesn't need to step outside itself to know that it is.

[00:00:18]Right now, without effort, you know that you are.

[00:00:23]You know that you are aware.

[00:00:26]You didn't [snorts] reason your way into that. You didn't need a concept.

[00:00:31]You just checked.

[00:00:33]This points to a radical possibility.

[00:00:37]Existence is self-luminous.

[00:00:40]Its very nature is to shine, to know itself as everything that appears.
