COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

But Mindfulness, Now and Zen argues that our everyday understanding can be seen in a completely different way, where the reality behind everything is a single entity in which every apparent part is absolutely connected to every other part. Within this understanding, the entire universe can be seen to be one timeless indivisible unity. And furthermore, we can each know this Ultimate Reality through the simple practice of mindfulness meditation.

Mindfulness allows us to dismount from the wild horse of dualistic thinking and to know what really lies behind our everyday experience. We no longer need to see the world in terms of opposing forces and can know things as they really are, as a harmonious unity where an unchanging undivided oneness lies behind all apparent diversity, divisibility and change.

Cosmic Consciousness is the name given to this experience of total mindfulness. It’s the personal encounter with Ultimate Reality, a knowledge of absolute simplicity, beyond the confines of the duality, categorisation and differentiation of everyday existence.
