Prior to the mind "more pointers from Sri Sri Chimpanzee"

Consciousness is my world of experience my own mind, and my own mind is not the fundamental truth of what I am, Light is the fundamental truth, I am the light of consciousness. Consciousness is your own mind and is your world of experience. The world of experience is dependent on what the mind believes that it knows. What it believes it knows is dependent on its programing, conditioning, education, and what it has come to believe it knows, then it gets projected out into the world of experience.This is the fundamental realization; the whole world of experience, every moment without exception is not the fundamental truth of what I am that it’s a projection of mind and can be called illusory because it appears to have its own separate existence. The world of experience appears to have its own separate existence, that’s why it’s referred to as an illusion, because it has no individual existence your own mind must believe that it knows that your reading these words. Your own mind must believe it knows in order to experience. Your whole world of experience is a projected world of experience and there is no other experience. So all experience can be called illusory. There is no way for this light of consciousness (the fundamental truth of who you are) to experience anything at all. It needs the mind in order to know or experience anything.  You are prior to the mind as the light of consciousness because the light of consciousness is shining through your mind and creating your world of experience, all of it. Every thought every emotion every sensation is a projection of mind, therefore your mind is three dimensional space and time. Your looking into your mind everywhere you look, you’re looking into your mind, not your brain your brain is in your skull. Mind is everywhere. My mind can look into my brain and my mind can look out into the world, its every molecule. All space and time is Mind, all space is consciousness.
