The Illusion Behind Consciousness 

The illusion behind human consciousness (thoughts, emotion, reasoning) is like a double mirror. First of all there is light (awareness). Because of its nature (sat-cit-ananda) light is aware of itself, light enlights itself. Because of this, the illusion, the first mirror, was born. One has (illusory) become two. Now there is outside and inside, a seer and a seen. A mirror that reflects the light. A sensitive being, like a cell or an animal. Duality was born. Because of the same "property", human consciousness was born: now there is a mirror that reflects the first mirror that is reflecting light. The two has become three. We are aware of the being aware of our body. This is human consciousness. The next step has to "find" and " remember " the light we have "lost". This double mirror is what make us able to see the first illusion, then to understand the second. In seeing that the first mirror is an illusion, that there is not two, we can understand the second. This is non-duality. When we realize non-duality, that there is not two, that light is enlighting itself and that the first mirror is an ilusion than holding on this truth we have to realize the second illusion, the illusion of our consciousness. In the same way someone can first see the illusion of the second mirror, the illusion of consciousness. Than he can realize the illusion of the first mirror and find non-duality.
