Consciousness

Consciousness is the One without the second - the Source of everything.

The “who,” the “what,” the “where,” and the “when” are all conceptual images in Consciousness. They are all “real” as any mirage or dream. …The totality of manifestation, and everything therein, is Consciousness Itself, the Unicity. All there is is Consciousness, not aware of Ittself in Its noumenal Subjectivity, but perceived by Itself as phenomenal manifestation in Its objective expression. If this is understood in depth, there is nothing more to be understood. Why? Because such understanding must comport the realization that there is no individual entity as such. What we think we are is merely an appearance, an insubstantial shadow, whereas what we really and truly ARE, is Consciousness Itself, the formless Brahman.
