What is this?

Infinite consciousness is the notion that consciousness, as opposed to being an abstract, ephemeral quality confined to individuals, is an all-pervasive, eternal and unconditional ground of existence that exists prior to and beyond our individual experience. It is the view that there is an unbounded field of pure awareness from which all things arise and in which all things are part of a greater whole. It is a subtle, yet fundamental dimension of reality that transcends our concept-based understanding of the physical world and the empirical divisions of experience.
