Consciousness is the light of God. It is not a thing. It does not act. But it shines through us as the source of the Real. Through consciousness one can see without judgement and without loss of the Absolute Self of Divine Being. Consciousness as "self," i.e., as the purity of Self-consciousness, sees without ego. But consciousness "seeing" is not a perceptual act that focuses upon delimited objects. Consciousness "seeing" is the unlimited reception and embrace of what is in the illumination of divine light. Just as one may listen and not hear, so also one may look and not see.
