In The End of the Game - Deconstructing the Portals to the Absolute, Dr. Stephen Wolinsky (Narayan) both delineates and deconstructs the portals to the absolute, which in most spiritual traditions are considered the end point.
The End of the Game - Deconstructing the Portals to the Absolute dismantles not only the portal of light, sound, and vibration, but also emptiness, void stillness-silence witnessing, non-duality energy or shakti, and consciousness and awareness.
The End of the Game demonstrates that portals are pleasant, however they are merely temporary states or stations or layers or covering.
The absolute prior to the word absolute does not have and knows nothing about the portals or states of light sound emptiness energy consciousness or awareness.
As Nisargadatta Maharaj would say, the Absolute is “Prior to consciousness.”
