Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 34):<br />
“The <strong>Absolute</strong> is without quality<br />
and beyond consciousness.<br />
The Supreme state is <strong>the</strong> very center <strong>of</strong> consciousness<br />
and yet beyond consciousness.”<br />
“The Supreme <strong>Absolute</strong> is beyond consciousness”.<br />
The experience <strong>of</strong> witnessing <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> is called <strong>the</strong><br />
Supreme Witness.<br />
The Supreme Witness witnesses <strong>the</strong> emptiness-void<br />
with awarenes as its nature.<br />
Nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se is <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
Ra<strong>the</strong>r it is a projection <strong>of</strong> consciousness-emptiness on<br />
itself through <strong>the</strong> vehicle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Supreme Witness or<br />
awareness,<br />
The last station before dissolution.<br />
The Supreme Witness is an appearance made <strong>of</strong><br />
consciousness <strong>the</strong>refore it too is an appearance on <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Absolute</strong>, an illusion to be discarded<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj pg. 328:<br />
“Really <strong>the</strong>re is no witness because <strong>the</strong>re is<br />
no thing to be witness to ...<br />
seek <strong>the</strong> source <strong>of</strong> consciousness.”<br />
The appearance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> void is still an appearance on<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
The appearance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> emptiness is still an appearance<br />
on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>.<br />
