Consciousness: An Artful Puzzle Worth Pondering

Click to Mix and Solve
Optical Delusion of Consciousness by Janice Taylor, Life & Wellness Coach, Cert. Hypnotist, Author, Columnist, 50-pound big-time-loser and artist, was inspired by the following quote from Albert Einstein. (write Janice for free consultation)
“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us ‘universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

What Einstein was talking about was our true nature, what we really are, which is one consciousness experiencing life subjectively.
The apparent appearance of separateness is an illusion of the mind, go beyond mind to experience the truth of life.
A quote I like which sums it up nicely
“When I see I am nothing,
that is wisdom.
When I see I am everything,
that is love.
And between these two,
my life flows.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj
The truth isn’t out there, the truth is in you!
