Ananta explains that the sense of separate identity dissolves in pure consciousness, where the distinction between 'I' and 'you' vanishes. He describes spiritual teachings as an alarm clock within the dream, waking consciousness from its self-imposed separation.

The voice of the Satguru is the alarm clock in the dream reminding you of your true nature.
There are no two; the concepts of 'I' and 'you' are only reminders to dissolve separation.
This individualized 'I' is dissolving, leaving no sense of identity in pure awareness.

Father, there is no sense of—there is no sense at all of identity in consciousness or awareness. So it feels so strange when they say 'you'.

Ananta

Yes, but it's not other or another also, no? Yes, it can feel a bit strange. This 'you' doesn't apply with himself saying that there is no—there are no two. So what could there be? Your 'I' and 'I', 'you'. So this is a reminder that even these scriptures are part of this dream, which are giving you those concepts which are getting rid of all the concepts of separation actually.

Ananta

I find that the alarm clock analogy or metaphor is very useful. These scriptures, the voice of the Satguru, is that alarm clock in the dream to remind us you are not this that you consider yourself to be. That is why it is 'you', just because it is a reminder that consciousness has made for itself. The reminder that there is no 'me' and 'you' is only also for the apparent 'you'. And this apparent 'you' is individualized 'I'. As it is dissolving, it will sound strange, all these terms.
