   when you say who can you be speaking to if there   
   are no individuals and the answer is that there may   
   not be individuals yet something gains a higher perch   
   in the awareness arena by knowing that there are no   
   individuals. nisargadatta maharaj used to say that he   
   was not speaking to the individual but to the consciousness   
   itself. he said that his words would reach a place deep   
   within and have their effect regardless of the person   
   in attendance.
