The question, posed by Meta Hermit:
"Hey Meta Sage, I'm a new subscriber and I have been binge watching your videos from the past 2 and half weeks! Through your teaching and break down of philosophy I have discovered myself to have an Existential Nihilist view point and mindset I just never knew there was a name for it. I learned further more from your deconstruction of all that we consider "reality" to be an illusion and that the only thing to truly exist is Awareness in all its lucidity.
There is one thing I'm still confused about....is Awareness and Consciousness that same thing? or are they two different concepts?
Also, I wanted to get your thoughts on the Hindu belief that all that exists is One Consciousness and that this One Consciousness is the only thing/substance that is experiencing the illusion of physical reality. Nothing else exists except for Consciouness and it is the One that experiences the illusion. All forms of life from humans/intelligent life forms, animals, plants, cells are illusions that this One Consciousness is experiencing.
Since our truest form is Awareness/Consciousness does that mean we are all One?"
