The White Radiance of Eternity

Just as white light refracts through a prism to appear as many colours, you, infinite consciousness, have refracted yourself through sense perception to appear as 10,000 things. All you know is experience, and all there is to experience is knowing – consciousness is the only substance ever actually known. Like empty space with nothing other than itself to create divisions, consciousness has no parts, cannot be bounded. Most spiritual paths start with the finite self, but one starts directly with infinite consciousness. You are that consciousness who has consented to localise as a finite mind, perceiving an apparent boundary. Consciousness knows itself directly, like the sun illuminates itself, whilst knowledge of the world is indirect. In consciousness’s own experience, there is no time or space – just dimensionless presence, eternal and infinite. This is your actual experience now, glimpsed nightly in deep sleep when you stand as the infinite in eternity – ‘the white radiance of eternity’.
