Ananta distinguishes between the limited 'person' based on separation, the qualitative 'beingness' or consciousness, and the absolute 'awareness' which is the primal witness of all states.

✦

The person is the imaginary entity based on the idea of separation and limited identity.

Beingness is the sense of presence, the light of consciousness in which the waking state emerges.

Awareness is the absolute, the primal witness that is aware even of beingness itself.
