The analogy of the TV can be helpful, especially if we imagine ourselves as the TV.
So we become the TV gazing out at the world through the screen of our personality, showing whatever station we happen to be tuned into.
And maybe we imagine all these images originate within the TV itself, so we take the TV apart trying to find the source of these images. Rather like a scientist probing the human brain hunting for the origins of consciousness. But all we find is a heap of electronic stuff.
And when we go within, looking for answers behind the TV, trying to find the various characters who express themselves through the screen of our personality, we find that there is no-one present. There is just conscious awareness.
Just a few ideas, but the analogy of the TV can be applied to non-duality and human consciousness.
