In this way, our consciousness in one moment “perfumes” (affects) or conditions the rise of our consciousness in the next moment (each thought dependent on the one preceding it).
In Consciousness-Only, the world exists in a cyclical form. That is, there is no actual beginning to the world; each thought always leads to the next.
The eight forms of consciousness all exist at the same time, and continually transform, but consciousness is collectively stored in the storehouse consciousness.
