This is one of the most profound truths available, and in many ways a great key for courageous aspirants to approach spiritual practice for the truest fulfillment of life.

The physical is not the totality of existence, but is simply a limited conditional aspect of the All-consciousness of existence. It is that conditional limitation that is the illusion which makes it seem like all, but which veils within it the true essence and origin, the Source which is therefore considered Real (vs. “illusion”). In the native status of the Real there is an awareness of that True Identity of all-consciousness in any status, including in the conditional limitation of the physical.

In the conditional ignorance of the physical, that potential awareness is always present, but instrumentally there is only a partial limited experience of it due to the conditional ignorance, i.e., maya, which is the false appearance and instrument of separative cognition.

Not only does the quoted statement validate all of reality as being essentially equal, regardless of variable differentiation as superficially, objectively, sensually apparent e.g., materialism when exclusive is a profound falsehood, i.e., “illusion.” But it implies that consciousness - all of it, because everything is consciousness - is available, accessible, realizable, and serviceable in the physical regardless of the infinite range of expression in and through that self-same equality of divine essence of One Being.

This Oneness of Being as embodied in and through any individuated being instrumentally aware of that equally available Truth of Identity, when permanently established, is what realization is.

This represents the true significance of immanence, the omnipresence of consciousness as equivalent to and inseparable from existence in any aspect, status, or formation, and the implication of omnipotence as the innate facility of the all-consciousness to create those differentiations - including dynamically as becoming, transforming - as intrinsically, inalienably, and irrevocably available to that inherent equality of consciousness. iow…

All existence (physical or non-physical) is …all consciousness… all power, all presence, all form.
