appears on itself, with <strong>the</strong> emptiness or void as its<br />

screen.<br />

And even as <strong>the</strong>re might be an awareness or supreme<br />

witness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cloud mirage world bubble floating on<br />

<strong>the</strong> empty void,<br />

That too is an illusion.<br />

Like a snake in a rope.<br />

I am <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> prior to this emptiness-void-<strong>the</strong><br />

Supreme Witness-Awareness.<br />

I am prior to any and all appearances.<br />

I am THAT, on which all appearances appear.<br />

“Prior” to The Consciousness-Self <strong>of</strong> All-One-Sole-<br />

Being-Supra-Casual Body,<br />

“Prior” to emptiness,<br />

“Prior” to <strong>the</strong> Supreme Witness-Awareness,<br />

All is an appearance on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />

The Void is an appearance on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Absolute</strong> is <strong>the</strong> substratum <strong>of</strong> all,<br />

Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 181):<br />

“I take my stand in <strong>the</strong> original state where<br />

I was not aware that I am.”<br />

Zen Buddhism: “Show me your original face before your<br />

mo<strong>the</strong>r was born.”<br />

The <strong>Absolute</strong> is “prior” to consciousness.<br />

The <strong>Absolute</strong> is “prior” to <strong>the</strong> Self <strong>of</strong> All.<br />
