When the primordial attention of our mind meets our external senses in relation to our existence, consciousness arises through the materialization of our reactions and the conditioning involved in viewing them through others and our surroundings; this diverts us from that original, unadulterated, and pure attention, something distinct from, and clearer than, the manifest content of consciousness. We then begin to identify with every event and sensation that arises and appears in our mind, emerging spontaneously, dissolving, and vanishing on their own. It is this very impermanence that, through the agency of consciousness and its contents, we transform into an observer—the observer we call ”I” by relating to specific arising contents with which we identify, thereby creating a semblance of permanence that serves as a fictitious personality within a fictitious reality. This process materializes spaciousness, confuse our awareness with consciousness, and personifies it: metaphorically projecting it onto a father figure, while projecting the inner view and compassion onto a mother figure manifestations within consciousness that are embodied by our biological parents. Yet, the attention present in us as children, in its primordial state has no parents. The relationship between this primordial, clear attention and placeless consciousness existed prior to them; we were born into it. At that stage, there was as yet no consciousness possessing a material content of accumulated experiences.
