Being and Awareness are One

Magdi explains the relationship between knowing and being as a fundamental unity where the two are ultimately one and the same. In fact, they are not two. Like the sun and the sunshine are not two.

He states clearly that “there is no being without knowing or knowing without being.” Being requires knowing, and knowing requires being.

According to the sources, this relationship can be understood through the following key points:

1. Identity and Equivalence

Magdi equates being with reality (That which is and cannot not-be) and knowing with awareness. Because they are one, he summarizes the relationship with two core statements:

• Reality is aware.
• Awareness is real.

He uses the terms “awareness,” “reality,” and “being” interchangeably to describe the “changeless” aspect of our experience that remains constant despite physical phenomenal changes, such as the body aging from ten to forty years old.

2. The Requirement of Recognition

Magdi notes that while being is the ultimate source, awareness is necessary to acknowledge it being. “In order to recognize being, awareness is required.”

He describes the experience of “Being recognizing itself” as the
“crystalline,” “formless,” and “transparent” aspect of consciousness that shines upon itself without needing any external objects or manifestations. Given that being and awareness go hand in hand, like ice and water, being does
not require the presence of form to recognize itself. This The embodied realization of self-awareness—awareness being aware of itself and within itself—is sometimes referred to by the term sat-chit-ananda.

3. Consciousness as the Ultimate Source

In Magdi’s explanation, this unity of being and knowing is where “the buck stops.” He argues that:

• In our direct experience, there is nothing prior to or beyond
  awareness/being in our direct experience.
• Because being and knowing are at “zero distance” from one another, they are outside of time.
• This reality is creative single reality. Reality (the union of being being/knowing and knowing) simultaneously conceives, creates, perceives, and destroys manifestation in a spontaneous, timeless “Big Bang” of the moment.

Ultimately, Magdi suggests that we are “deeply, deeply, deeply rooted in the absolute,” which is this very presence of being that is and that knows it is.
