Material And Spiritual Fantasies

If we dwell on external fantasies – either material or spiritual –
we will never understand the subtle ultimate truth within.

It is because the truth within is pure consciousness
that everything can be known.

What is the point of external fantasies,
if there is no consciousness to appreciate them?

Consciousness comes first.
Consciousness is neither created nor changed,
while fantasies are changeable.

Does consciousness create?
Consciousness creates its own environment.

Did consciousness create the universe?
No.
Like consciousness, space does not change,
and therefore space was not created.

What changes?
Only thoughts and matter, as they are impermanent,
and so have no ultimate reality.

The universe/nature isn’t conscious; it reacts to circumstances.
When we are unaware of consciousness, we react to circumstances.

Being conscious is being conscious of consciousness,
the primordial purity and wisdom free from elaborations;
an unceasing expression of awareness.
