I know you are quoting some deep thinkers but what would it be like to be the real you that is just the part that is aware? I don't think we can be just that part because there would be nothing to be aware of. Awareness only exists at the same time as being aware of something. Otherwise we are decomposing the whole which is what all this spiritual path is not suppose to do - following a spiritual path should be integrating what ever we are into the whole which is awareness with the subject of the awareness. To be just aware is not possible, one must be aware os somthing - but that something is also part of the whole you.
