Mind Illuminates the World

In the timeless, spaceless realm of consciousness, of infinite potential, anything is possible, including the experience of a tangible, durable, physical world.

But for the world appear, for illumination to occur, consciousness must limit itself. This limitation is what creates the experience of subject-object relationships. In the case of human beings, this localization occurs through the lens of the finite mind, through the activities of thinking and perceiving. In reality, there are no discrete minds separate from the reality of consciousness.

The world is the manifestation of consciousness experiencing itself as a world through the mind.
