Absolute consciousness is not something that is far and unreachable. Absolute consciousness is always present, along with the relative consciousness that your everyday thoughts spread. It's like taiji, which always contains yin and yang. When the relative world of yin and yang stops, that's the world of taiji. When the troubled thoughts and feelings from which you suffer from stop too, that is the absolute world. The relative world, with all its drama and stories, where “I” and “object” and this and that exist, is happening right on top of the absolute world at this very moment. They exist in the same spacetime, just like waves and water.
