excerpt from article 370 The Unutterable Awesomeness of Being
It is painfully obvious yet bears frequent repeating that our so-called reality – the dreamstate and everything in it – is a complete and utter crock of shit. Reality is not real, it doesn't actually exist, it's literally all in the mind. I don't mean to cast our fake-ass reality in a negative light, I’m just stating a very simple fact, which is that everything in a dream is a dream, and all the apparent stuff – time, space, energy and matter – is dreamstuff. That's what nonduality means. read more at Jedvaita.com

JLY i see over on ST, fighting tooth and nail to try to keep his Absolute knowing of "other perceivers" alive.... JLY, I would advise you to sit with that sense you are so obviously experiencing, of having that depth of certain knowing taken away from you. Who/what would you be then? Who would all those others actually be then...what would they be? (I promise you, in losing that Absolute knowledge, you lose nothing of import compared to what is gained as mind/experience is informed of the absence). That which is apparent is devoid of inherent existence. Niz, as he often did, is doing a strange sort of context mix there for the purpose of speaking to where a seeker sits, but the addition of that term "apparently" says it all; Indeed, the experience of the seeker, is of two entities that possess/have/give rise to consciousness, seeing unity. Niz is acknowledging the erroneous/false/delusion that a seeker entertains while also telling him there are not actually two entities that each "have consciousness in them,"....but that the movement towards seeking, towards ending suffering, is ultimately, none-other than "love" in play...at the crux of it all. The quote does not prove what you think it does.

And JLY...instead of always propping up your own views with quotes from others, how about trying to use your own words instead? What so often happens with seekers is that they 'think' they grasp what a guru/teacher is saying and then they use that erroneous understanding to try to prop up their most sacredly held beliefs to protect them from awakened/realized 'seeing through.'
Until you can start defending your supposed realized mind-informings/insights in your own words, likely best to stay away from using guru quotes to support your position. Just sayin.

4 Rick.... What that means is that multiple/diverse experiencers/perceivers are appearance only...facets of the mind-dream-scape....there is but One, singular Awareness, with all distinction appearing/arising within/to that. And clearly, you've glommed onto the term "Universal consciousness" as though it somehow proves something important.....what exactly? I assure you, as a pointer, it does not mean what you "think" it does.

That you hear is a fact. What you hear is not. The fact can be experienced, and in that sense the sound of the word and the mental ripples it causes are experienced. There is no other reality behind it. - Niz

There is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self. - Niz

To identify oneself with the particular is all the sin there is. The impersonal is real, the personal appears and disappears. "I am" is the impersonal Being. "I am this" is the person. The person is relative, and the pure Being fundamental. - Niz

"I could comfortably swap characters with someone else; insert my awareness into any person, any time, any place. Is such a thing possible? Perception is the only reality, so why not? Everything is either awareness or appearance; what rules apply to awareness? What can’t appear? What can’t be dreamt? We take it for granted so we don’t appreciate the fact that our living reality is so fantastically, insanely, mindbogglingly wondrous and dreamlike that simply adding a new dimension would hardly make a noticeable impact."
"If we could have some unknown and unsuspected power, the ability to transfer your consciousness into a different vessel for awhile would get my vote, but why limit it to people? A whale, a bacterium, a leaf of grass, a non-corporeal entity; whatever is aware, it seems, can host awareness. In fact, why limit it to this dreamstate venue? What better way to visit other worlds and discover new species than by transferring your consciousness into them? It makes a lot more sense than flying through space in a tin can with fire shooting out the back." -Jed McKenna
