| Your experience will enable you to understand what "consciousness" implies and what it is. Consciousness is a nonobstructing phenomenon, is nonmaterial, and has the quality of luminosity; that is, it reflects any object by arising in the aspect of that object. Consciousness is like a crystal stone; while a crystal is resting on a colored surface you cannot see the real untinted clarity of the crystal stone, but once you take the crystal away from the surface you can perceive its actual clarity. |
