Nature of Experience

Non-Duality

That into which the mind subsides is Consciousness, and Consciousness is present, not just when the mind dissolves, but prior to and during the appearance of mind.

Therefore the true meaning and purpose of life, which is Consciousness itself, is in fact also its origin and its substance. It is the origin and substance of all appearances, not their destiny. It is also that into which all appearances dissolve. In that sense it is their natural fulfilment.
