In the beginning Consciousness is alone like a still lake.

Then a ripple arises and this is name and form.

From Consciousness the thought arises “I am Consciousness.”

This is the I-sense.

Then desire arises and this is ego.

The ripple thinks that it is separate and this creates limitations which are time and space.

The ripple is a blink of thought and this is ego rising from Consciousness, but ripples are not different from the lake, from water.

Forget this and you are in trouble.

The senses rise and then sense objects and all of manifestation are created to play with you and delude you.

When you say that “all is imagination” it is no longer imagination because you are awake.

Awaken from this dream called manifestation.

Don’t go away from yourself and the ego will not rise.

 Objects are not other than senses, which are not other than body, which is not other than mind, which is not other than “I.”

Truly, this creation is not other than your own reflection because this

 “I” is Consciousness.

 Find the source of this “I” with absolute vigilance and stop thinking,

 for thought is the world process itself.
