Reality 18
The
World is constituted solely of Sense Perceptions,
usually made from a supposed bodily locations [dreams, out-of-the-body OOBE
experiences, etc. as exceptions]. There is no World apart from these
Perceptions. So the World is not “external”. The “external” is merely a conceptual
interpretation of the Sensations. The Senses are known only by & in
Consciousness. So what is thought of as “external” is entirely in
Consciousness, which is free from the Senses. The “external World” is a mere
notion in Consciousness. Within that notion there appears the whole “external”
World. That is one notion fragmented into the imagining of endless objects that
assumed to exist. That one notion depends on the “I am the Body” belief. The
World is a mere notion, an illusory appearance in one’s own Mind. Therefore,
the notion is called Maya, Illusion. But
Illusion is that which is not.
Since
the World is unreal, it can produce no Bondage. Being unreal, the World does
not really come to be. It is for this reason that Maya is said to be
beginningless [not eternal – like it always was – but rather
that it never started, never happened]. Reality does not bring forth the
unreal. Being Non-Dual, Reality does not bring forth any other thing that is
real either. Ever-existent Being, itSelf Unborn, never creates at all. Nor it
the unreal ever “born” [ – but this time because it never comes to be],
for the unreal does not exist. Being unreal, the World does not disappear for
you (as individual) either, anymore than the Dream World
disappears for the Dream character when one (like the real Self) awakens
from both (Dream World & Dream character).

"There
is no Creation, no Destruction, no Bondage, no longing to be freed from
Bondage, no striving for Liberation, nor anyone who has attained Liberation.
Know that this to be Ultimate Truth."
