The operation of consciousness has created the 'apparition' called 'me'.
Attempting to understand consciousness with your mind, is like trying to illuminate the sun with a candle.
A thought may arise: 'It's okay now, but it's going to be different when I step out the door'. Already you are anticipating your downfall. Recognise these as just thoughts. You can just watch them, feel their pull yet observe them as a movement in consciousness. Stay put as formless awareness.
All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.
Sometimes consciousness devises an obstacle in order to have the experience of transcending it.
The game is not set. There are so many layers that it is being perceived on. As your own consciousness becomes more refined, the game changes.
Consciousness is the greatest movie-maker in the whole world.
You are the light of consciousness and also the witness of this light. You are pure awareness.
