"Just as the difference between the space in a pot and the space outside it disappears when the pot is demolished, so also does duality disappear when it is realized that the difference between the individual consciousness and the Universal Consciousness does not in fact exist."

Ultimately, this journey seeks freedom.
Unaware of it's destination, it explores the objects of perception, searching to fulfill a deep sense of lack. At it's core, this lack is created from the assumption that we are contained and that which we seek is outside of ourselves.
How could this search occur without subscribing to the idea that things are separate, contained, existing within borders--limited?
This journey can not even begin without belief in boundaries, can it? Life is the examination of these self created limits until it finally occurs to itself that there just aren't any. It discovers itself blankly staring at itself, speechless.

What do I mean by Reality? Only this: our direct experience in this very moment. What else could it possibly be?
Of course, even this is untrue, because we never experience a moment, much less time. We only ever experience the eternal now, without beginning or end.
In fact, materiality itself is imagination, a continuous circular movement of awareness: from creation, to perception, as everything-ness, to dissolution, and, then, nothingness, all occurring outside of time itself.
"Perception is creation" as Francis Lucille so lucidly points out.
