Shadow


consciousness is a shadow cast by awareness

in the light of
intelligence


Remembrance of Things Present


I find it exhilarating to remember that nothing has been explained. The scientific community has their best people on it and they are doing a bang-up job. But no-one knows what matter is or why it should exist in the first place. No-one knows the origin of the universe and no-one knows why consciousness should emerge from matter.

We are born into this world and some of us uncover the warp and woof of its fabric, but of the nature of the thread we know nothing except its superficial qualities.

Awareness has risen from ashes and dust, and awareness is what we are. Awareness leaves no ashes and awareness leaves no dust.

But what is awareness?
