There is no such thing as a person. There are only
restrictions and limitations. The sum total of these
defines the person. The person merely appears to be,
like the space within the pot appears to have the shape
and volume and smell of the pot.Nisargadatta Maharaj
Delusion is not a function of consciousness. Consciousness is not at fault. Consciousness is not distorted, diminished, defective or broken and does not need to be adjusted, altered, expanded or repaired. It’s fine, it’s not the problem. Leave it alone. You’re not going to hurt it, you’ll just end up piling up more layers of emotional dunnage over the top of it, which is the opposite of what you want to do. You want to travel back toward it, not further distance yourself from it.
