If you think 'all things arise in awareness' and take this as privileging the subjective over the objective then you have surely missed the point. You might do better to note that whatever you take to be the subjective is only a subclass of the objective, and so you would do as well to meditate the enigmatic encountering of things in the world as the peculiar nature of the 'I'. In either case there is nothing you can think out, although certain framing thoughts take you a certain way closer to your goal, before twisting around on themselves and collapsing like a bubble. It is just this behaviour at the limit of the thinkable that you can be mindful of in restraint from thought. You gain an intimation of certain configurations without a clear sense of what they are configurations in, what sort of space-time, or 'it' that gives space and time. Any notions you might have about this 'it', such as being peaceful, vast, and of a soveriegn stilness are importations from old poems that can no longer be accepted second-hand. What you are called upon to do is to allow the intimations to reveal what they may.
