Ananta guides a seeker to recognize that while Awareness is the independent substratum, it cannot be separated from the presence of Consciousness in the waking state. He cautions against mentally bypassing 'being' to reach a conceptual absolute.

✦

Awareness is independent of being and not being, but in the waking state, you cannot recognize awareness without consciousness.

Without awareness there can be no consciousness. Without consciousness you are still aware.

Don't feel like you can skip over the being... the primordial vibration and the absolute are all apparent at the same time.
