Consciousness
Mind is consciousness in motion; consciousness is mind at rest. All experience is a movement of mind, and mind — that is, all thinking, imagining, feeling, sensing and perceiving — is a vibration of consciousness, appearing in consciousness, known by consciousness and made of consciousness.
Rupert Spira, The Nature Of Consciousness
Love is just another word for consciousness:
– the reality of everything,
– the stuff out of which everything is made.
For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Acts 17:28
EXCERPT: In this book it is suggested that consciousness is the fundamental, underlying reality of the apparent duality of mind and matter, and that the overlooking, forgetting or ignoring of this reality is the root cause of both the existential unhappiness that pervades and motivates most people’s lives and the wider conflicts that exist between communities and nations. Conversely, it is suggested that the recognition of the fundamental reality of consciousness is the prerequisite and a necessary and sufficient condition for an individual’s quest for lasting happiness and, at the same time, the foundation of world peace.
