“[Once you realize that consciousness is everything, it] means the universe is your friend. You have no enemies, nobody’s against you. No one wants to hurt you. You’re free! You’ll develop a great deal of humility, a great peace, lovingkindness towards person, place and thing. All of this happens just by realizing that everything is consciousness. You should do this when you first awaken in the morning.

Do not start thinking about your life and what you have to do during the day. But as soon as you get up in the morning, realize immediately that everything is consciousness. Consciousness means there’s something alive going on, some living thing happening. The very air you breathe, the space that you take up, is consciousness. It is your true nature. You are that Self. Everything is consciousness. Nothing is left out, nothing!”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
