The Nature of Reality and Consciousness
Reality is viewed as a dream wherein consciousness imagines and localizes the universe within itself. The universe is the activity of a single indivisible consciousness and appears as a multiplicity of things from different perspectives. The distinction between the dreamer and the dreamed character in a dream illustrates the relationship between consciousness and its manifestations. Consciousness, not individuals, is conscious and has the non-dual experience. The key to understanding reality lies in recognizing the awareness of being, which is ever-present and unlimited.
