Strange things happen when you examine consciousness

Close your eyes and consider the strangest thing of all: the act of examining your own awareness. A gentle journey into the paradoxes of consciousness. The moment you try to observe your thoughts, they change. The self you are trying to study is the same self doing the studying. There is no vantage point outside your own mind. This is the "hard problem" of consciousness—the irreducible mystery of subjective experience. Let this quiet reflection on the nature of awareness carry you into a deep and restful sleep, where the strangest thing of all becomes a peaceful mystery.
