A Hare in the Soup

"Conditioned by attachment to duality as reality, action takes place. This is mind. A contracted form of Consciousness. So, though mind seems to be contracted, and locatable to an individual, it is still nothing but the omnipresent consciousness, it's true nature infinite to multiple finites appearing within the infinite… … Like water drops in the ocean."

Apparently in this system of beliefs, , one is unable to ever free themselves from bondage to this “omnipresent consciousness”. This is in contradiction to the Buddha’s teaching that liberation from such attachments is possible.

These ideas, from several thousand years ago, were not for realizing liberation, but were for union with a divine source of life, from which all was thought to have sprung. Obviously Buddhism pulled the rug out from under that conceptual framework then, and it continues to do so today.
