Vedanta uses two terms, awareness and consciousness. This leads to confusion in those who are in veranta. What he means by the absolute is what vedanta calls brahman or atman.

I have seen a little bit of it in my own life. So i cannot doubt that these things are possible. All right, let us bring it to a close. There is a very fruitful session, and we have gone well over time. Om chante,
