The talk outlines the ways in which both ordinary experiences and mystical experiences are reflexive, supporting the view that we are manifestations of a self-observing universe. We address fundamental confusions that prevent a clear understanding of how consciousness relates to the world described by physics, the relationship of consciousness to mind, and the relationship of consciousness to self. Finally, we touch on how consciousness relates to matter/energy within the primordial nature of the ground of being, and the various ways in which that can be known.
