Rays of the Absolute - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

All pointers-techniques are a thorn to remove a thorn,
After the thorn is removed, throw away the thorn,
technique or understanding.
Prakashananda Baba: “You cannot realize with a
formula, use it and then throw it away.”
Consciousness is the substance of all that appears to
exist,
there are no concepts separate from consciousness,
the appearance of the world is consciousness.
Within the consciousness bubble lies worlds, gods,
bodies, layers, universes, veils etc.
Like peeling back the layers of an onion
All the layers are still the onion,
Peel back the layers; neti neti.
First see everything as consciousness, a supra-casual
bubble
Until the Absolute is revealed,
Abide in that Absolute, prior to the onion itself.
Deconstruct theories, metaphors or concepts through
identification with the consciousness,
appreciate all is made of the same substance as the
consciousness.
A bubble which gives the illusionary appearance of
being separate from the emptiness,
A bubble universe of consciousness appearing to float
on emptiness,
Emptiness appears as a conceivable-perceivable VOID
“As If” it were an actual substance or thing.
Emptiness as well is the consciousness
