Divine Consciousness
In meditation and in activity I experience my mind and body as layers of conscious light in a sea of stillness—from a transparent to a golden hued unboundedness of luminous shimmering, crackling sound, the very structure of knowingness. My senses are the expanding knowledge and specific flavors of that awareness that are streaming and connected to specific areas of my body. My senses, flowing as wholeness, are the tangible means by which consciousness moves within a ocean of unbounded self-awareness connecting physical matter and the divine environment into one, many chaptered, story-package of pure, silent knowledge.
My eyes are luminous with the divinity of pure joy; joy in a sight that is the Absolute sound of all sounds, the Absolute form of all forms. I can see the structured space of my heart and body extending around me to infinity. This very empty stillness is so unboundedly full that the distance between emptiness and fullness—between my experience and the Absolute, between God and the Gods—has all but disappeared. Yet there I am: both fullness’s as a package of humming knowledge, the strumming reverberations of pure wholeness.
How can I describe the wonder-full experience of a celestial perception that is dominated and inundated by the structure and knowledge of the unbounded togetherness of this cosmic family. This innate, Absolute, divine, all-inclusive attribute of my mind, body, and senses, perceives and serves to tangibly unite all the continuous layers of experience from total, pure silence to daily activity.
I experience total, unmoving silence, constantly; this silence has a transparent, self-luminous, self- knowing, unbounded surface, that moves throughout all the levels of my experience. Unbounded silence sparks as knowledge and bubbles as wholeness throughout the divine movement of my awareness.
The most delicate sound, the most sublime sight, the softest touch, the subtlest fragrance, and the most enchanting taste, I see as knowledge-full, with bliss spilling from a divine activity, connecting even the narrative of my daily life. This continuity, this connectedness, this ever-present nature of the subtlest to the most expressed, of silent consciousness to even my physiology and to ordinary activity is the true wonder of my experience of wholeness.
My entire experience could be explained as a universally manifesting infinity, tethered to the tiniest point of my silent, heaven-spanning heart. In the detailed wholeness of this simultaneity, I can see an ocean of pure silence roaring within its own nature. This cosmic sound is the seed knowledge of my consciousness, unboundedly pulsing as Absolute, celestial and earthly creation: a divine wind of self-awareness that as if shakes the Absolute as a cosmic and personal experience of oneness— the very story of ancient beginingless Existance.

Hi. I recently came across your BATGP interviews, which I’m finding really fascinating. I’ve only recently been introduced to the concept of awareness/consciousness through the teachings of Eckhart Tolle but hadn’t realised that some people had such a vivid and real experience of awareness/consciousness as you experience. It’s a real eye opener, and has given me renewed hope that there is more in store for me than my very sporadic and subtle experience of what I can only call spaciousness.
I have had a lengthy period of what my psychiatrist calls mental illness but which I am learning to interpret differently now, where anxiety and depression and mania were my daily experience. My daytime experience is improved now, but my sleeping experience is always one of vivid anxious dreaming, which I always took to be the norm until I heard you speak about the litmus test of sleep. It’s amazing to think that even my sleep could be transformed.
I find some of the terms such as ‘the relative’ and ‘the absolute’ difficult to understand and would love to hear more from you about what these mean. But more importantly, and I expect you get asked this all the time, what can people who are new to all of this do to make contact with consciousness as you describe it?
I find meditation difficult, not only as a practice, but as something to fit in around family life with children, changing routines, and the stuff that life brings along, so I’m hoping that long periods of meditation or retreats isn’t the way!
Any advice now, or through your future appearances or writings would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Richard
