Knowing the Source is the Source

"The source of consciousness cannot be an object in consciousness."  Nisargadatta

This is not a pun, this is the way.  With our minds, we create subject and object.  But this mental creation is only that, a creation, not absolute reality.  And absolute reality is not an anthropomorphic godhead somewhere far away sitting on a cloud in judgement.  Absolute reality is consciousness.  If we back up, before our minds create the duality of subject and object, and observe clearly without conceptualizing, we may find that what we call observing is something else altogether.  Consciousness cannot observe consciousness objectively.  It is that.  Now take it back again, and see that 'we' are that.  We are consciousness and so is anything we observe, and further, so is the act of observing itself.  Consciousness is the observer, the observed, and the observing.  So, something appears to be happening, but it's not what we think it is. 

I can't go any further with this, so I will leave it by saying that all of it is just the movement of energy, which we, as consciousness, are aware of.  The rest is mystery.
