I.
Reality itself includes everything that is and that is and can be, and everything that is not or cannot be is not real.
The Absolute includes all that is real and unreal.
II.
The Absolute contains the totality of reality. It is not in time and space; time and space are within it.
III.
The Absolute transcends experience.
It is like the black void; it contains everything but is not anything. It has no shape or definition, so it cannot be perceived by your mind.
IV.
The Absolute can only be known and recognized.
When the experiencer dissolves, the Absolute shines and can be known.
V.
The Absolute can be known when awareness is pointed back on itself. In this way, Brahman can be realized.
VI.
The "experience" is actually the recognition that you never were separate from it. That you are one with the void.
VII.
Each of us is one within the Absolute. We are like Waves on the Ocean.
Through us, the Absolute experiences what it is like to be a Wave.
VIII.
The Wave is made of the Ocean and the Ocean contains all waves. In this way, the Absolute and the Relative are not separate, they are one.
IX.
You Are Not IN Reality, You ARE Reality.
