Do you see consciousness as the Absolute, or as an emanation?

[Cobrien]

The first thing in creation is infinity.

Infinity becomes aware. This is the next step....

Although the majority of the ancient wisdom perceives infinite consciousness as the Absolute, in my limited understanding, I can't help but see awareness as an emanation.

To me, at the highest level consciousness is intelligent energy. The kinetic aspect of the absolute. The "light" which emanates from the luminary.

The perfect unity or infinity itself I see as being beyond consciousness and completely undefinable. The only word I can even come up with to attempt to describe it other than infinity or unity is Spirit. I suppose you might call it consciousness without awareness...but I wouldn't quite call that consciousness.

How do others see this? Is consciousness the absolute?

IMHO you've immensely distorted the concept.

How so?....I clicked the link and the interpretation of the same concept seemed far more distorted.
