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

All objects, people and events etc., derive their
illusionary sense of existence or is-ness from the
energy/shakti,
an emanation or ripple made of consciousness in and
on the screen of consciousness, (called emptiness)
which is consciousness.
Kashmir Shaivism The Spanda Karikas, Spanda the
throb or pulsation of the consciousness appearing on
itself,
The consciousness, whether called the Self of All, or
One Sole Being
Is still only consciousness,
Appearing on the screen of the subtle consciousness
called emptiness,
“As If” it is made of a different substance then the
consciousness.
Metaphorically, when all pictures made of light or
energy or shakti are removed,
what remains is the consciousness-emptiness, as one
substance,
In this way consciousness as the One Sole Being, the
Self of All with nothing separate from itself is revealed.
The Absolute is revealed as the all, prior to the word
all.
