The consciousness of the seer, is a greater power for knowledge than the consciousness of the thinker. The perceptual power of the inner sight is greater and more direct than the perceptual power of thought.

More on consciousness
Until we start to see these false perceptions for what they really are, consciousness will be imprisoned within the dream state.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Thoughts are just moving through consciousness. They have no power. Nothing has reality until you reach it, grab it, and somehow impregnate it with the power of belief.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being, pure consciousness. This is actually the very substance of your own self and being.
AdyashantiAdyashanti If you want to know something, go elsewhere. If you want to un-know everything, then sit and listen.
AdyashantiAdyashanti The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. When you start to see the light that you really are, the light waking up in you, the radiance, you realize it has no intention to change you.

AdyashantiAdyashanti The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. There is no sense that anything needs to change, but it does change.
