Shindra is not aware of being aware, only awareness is. Awareness is aware *of* Shindra, and more personas than a mind can hold/ever calculate.
When something is not in awareness, it ceases to exist. When a person that is remembered from the 'past' (which is, time is, but a concept of the mind) comes into awareness, awareness remembers the personality and, together with the concept of time (which is also created by awareness as it creates the mind), creates a history and a body that looks 'older' than 'last time'.
Nothing exists when awareness is not aware of it. No one will ever encounter anything that is not within awareness,
the one will never encounter anything outside of am self. (that, thought not entirely gramatically correct, was a deliberate word choice, not a mistake)
-
in objective words, you will never experience anything outside of your awareness, if you are aware of something it is within your awareness, and you will never see proof that anything outside your awareness exists, because to 'see' something you would have to be aware of it.
No "you" exists when
I am not aware of it. And here I mean
I=awareness again, not 'Shindra'.
Thank you for your questions, each answer I try to give help me clarify my thoughts.
