You Are Vast Consciousness

Most people believe consciousness is located in and derived from the body. This is understandable – we experience the world through the body’s perceiving faculties. When you close your eyes, the world disappears, so it seems awareness is located behind the eyes. But just as in a dream, you perceive through the dreamed character’s faculties, yet the knowing isn’t located in that dreamed body, so here the knowing isn’t located in your body. Feel that the awareness with which you’re aware expands way beyond your body’s limitations and encompasses the entire world. You, consciousness, are vast – the entire world appears in you. This vast consciousness cannot perceive directly, so you must localise yourself as a point of view. You are a localised point of view of consciousness through whose perceiving faculties it perceives itself as world. You divide yourself into subjects and objects, but they’re made of your self. Mind-matter duality is how you manifest.
