Why is Reality Consciousness?

To become conscious of the ultimate nature of consciousness is Awakening.

That seems so paradoxical, like clapping with one hand

Isn't even self reflection lost at this point?

I know that it's an assumption, but I don't see why it's wrong. Isn't it also an assumption that a rock can only exist inside consciousness? Or is this just a better assumption?

Because that's how all the puzzle pieces finally connect.

It's not paradoxical. Consciousness has the ability to comprehend itself. All that's required is a bump in your state of consciousness.

@Leo Gura

Consciousness can understand itself, but it is already itself, no-distance. Maybe I'm dividing where there is only one, but isn't there beingness and then reflection to itself (understanding), like an arrow going back to itself (conscious of consciousness), to comprehend itself. Haven't you lost at that point the perfect singularity?

There is a distinction between Being and Knowing until there isn't.
