There is Consciousness...

Don't say "everybody is conscious".

Say "there is consciousness", in which everything appears and disappears.

Our minds are just waves on the ocean of consciousness.

As waves they come and go.

As ocean they are infinite and eternal.

Know yourselves as the ocean of being, the womb of all existence.

These are all metaphors of course;

the reality is beyond description.

You can know it only by being it...
