The universe is not separate from the space of consciousness

The universe does not exist outside consciousness the way furniture exists inside a room. It exists within consciousness the way a dream exists within the dreamer — not as an object in a container but as a modification of the medium itself. There is no “outside” to cid-ākāśa because cid-ākāśa is not a space with boundaries; it is the condition that makes space possible. The world is not in consciousness; the world is consciousness appearing as the world.
