So your idea of awakening is a materialist's version death / nonexistence? Is that what you're saying?

Nothing is materialistic or spiritual, it's real. What I'm saying is that you can open yourself to what is unlimited, and do it right now. You are the reality in a form, and it's happening exactly right now, you can penetrate in this exact moment, breaking the becoming, the form, and being absolutely open to the totality.

I mean what is inherent beyond the change, what is what changes.

Forgive the gross oversimplification but everything and nothing.  Its all convoluted and paradoxical when you try to actually explain it.  Ultimate Truth can only be experienced.  I know what you're driving at but I'm beyond employing the either/or approach to enlightenment.

You, the conscious structure, the human, can open yourself to what you are.

Been there, done that.  I just can't satisfactorily explain what being an infinite miracle is without holding up an inferior signpost which just prompts you to point out how weak my signpost is.

I dont mean knowing or understanding it, but being open to it.

Seems to me like these things go together but whatever works for you.

@Dodo I feel awareness is only one aspect of God. In some sense it's the most important but it's not the totality. Theres also love, intelligence, imagination, will and others.

im not here to talk about a loaded term like God, I am simply exploring reality like a scientist of direct experience. 

I am noticing that which never changes in my experience and making it the center of my world, just so happens that center has no size and location, its just me. I cant ever run away from it, and I don't need to find it, even if i can't see it as an object of experience.

My "practice" is simply noticing that Im aware and making that more important than anything else, all else is secondary.
