Ordinary Consciousness And Pure Consciousness

Ordinary or common consciousness is what all sentient beings are. We find things to eat, look for interesting things to play with, and sleep. We use our mind of memories to interpret all that we experience, which keeps us in a continuum of ignorance and forgetfulness, oblivious to our reality.

As pure consciousness, we know what we are, no longer attached to memories which maintain the illusion of reality. We understand the need to stabilise awareness of inner peace, the fast track to enlightenment.

Ordinary consciousness relates everything to me and mine (relate: from Latin relat-‘brought back’).
Pure consciousness is unconditional awareness.

Ordinary consciousness is exoteric; it relates to everything = twoness.
Pure consciousness is esoteric; it is direct experience with everything = oneness.
