World and Universe
    
  Cant say. This post is. Awareness has a subjective and objective  pole. Two sides of a single moment. When practicing neti neti ( not I  not I) one "backs" toward the subjective pole as more and more subtle  elements of "me" become objects of awareness. The subjective pole is not  an object of awareness, but  bodymind (everything called "Me and  "Mine") along with the "external" world are realized as a single whole  object of awareness. This "Me" belongs in it's entirety to the  endless dis-equilibrium of the world, entirely to Samsara. Once the the  subjective pole has been clarified of all objects in this way the sense  of "I" dissolves. Experience goes from the sense of seer seeing seen  to just seeing, without a seperate subject and object. The  notion of a subject apart from an object or an object apart from a  subject is an error in that it cannot meet the test of practice.
So your question can only be answered ... this is what seeing is now, and the information you are giving me about your experience is an abstraction, in the same way thinking about my car parked outside is. All I'm left with is This experience, everything else is an abstraction.
