An increasing number of philosophers and even some neuroscientists are coming around to the idea that it may be our best hope for solving the problem of consciousness.

B Vasubandhu writes:

"And there in the undefiled element, the supreme self of the Buddhas is shown. Why? Due to having the nature of the foremost selflessness. The foremost selflessness is the pure suchness and by its own nature is the self of the Buddhas; in purity, the Buddhas seize the pure self which is the foremost selflessness."

KASTRUP- a) Grounding experience in cosmic consciousness: how do myriad, ephemeral experiential qualities arise in one enduring cosmic consciousness?

b) The decombination problem: how do private phenomenal fields form within cosmic consciousness? Why can I not read your thoughts by simply shifting the focus of my attention?
c) Reducing perception: how can the revealed order of nature (the physical world we measure) be explained in terms of its concealed order (its underlying thoughts)? Why are the respective qualities so different?
d) Explaining the correlations between brain function and inner experience: if brain function does not constitute or generate phenomenality, why do they correlate so well?
e) Explaining a seemingly shared, autonomous world: if the world is imagined in consciousness, how can we all be imagining essentially the same world outside the control of our personal volition?

Our fundamental conception of each other is as conscious beings, that is to say, creatures with feelings, experiences, and emotions. And yet feelings and emotions don’t seem to show up in the scientific story of the body and brain

Because spiritual evolution does not proceed along a logical, linear, definable, predictable timeline, what could be considered very advanced instruction is presented from the very beginning and recurrently throughout this treatise/manual. Important themes are represented, as comprehension is facilitated by context and familiarity.

What is the fastest way of achieving enlightenment?

Ramana Maharshi answered this question beautifully.

Achieving enlightenment is like bringing a cow to a barn.

The barn is piled with hay, and there‘s a lovely meadow out back where she can wander and graze.

The cow will be happy there, but if you pick up a stick and try to goad her, you’ll see just how fast cows can run.

If you take a handful of hay and coax her instead, she will be happy to follow you.

When we think we should get enlightened, we try to force ourselves into silent awareness.

We brandish a stick and our mind immediately runs the other way.

Enlightenment is peace.

To get there, we must only choose to be there.

We get to heaven by realizing we prefer it to hell.

When we let ourselves experience peace in this moment, we’ll find we like feeling this way.

We’ll fall in love with silent awareness.

Soon, we’ll be willing to give up anything that would get in the way.
