Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

Infinite consciousness, as described by Rob Burbea, is the profound and expansive realization of awareness that transcends the typical boundaries of self and individual experience. It is an intimate recognition of the vast, limitless, and luminous nature of consciousness that pervades all phenomena. This state of being unveils the interconnection and seamless continuity between one's inner awareness and the universe, dissolving the duality of subject and object. Infinite consciousness is marked by a boundless, spacious presence that is inherently peaceful, vibrant with clarity, and imbued with an intrinsic sense of love and compassion. It is the deeply transformative understanding that consciousness is not confined or limited by personal identity, but rather, it is an unfathomable expanse, offering a profound sense of unity and liberation.
