Mind Games

To deny the reality of existence as we know it and to affirm it to be pure consciousness alone is only a mind game without the experience of liberation.  Even a descriptive term such as "unqualified" merely charts deep space from an orbit of mental conditioning.  To actually enter the brimming vacuum of enlightenment is to die, to dissolve, to merge what was once personal and limited into the infinite and eternal.  The path to this requires us to immerse ourselves relentlessly in the teachings of authentic, realized sages, to bathe in their light until we become the light, or, more to the point, until we, too, realize with complete conviction that we always already consist of this fathomless, boundless fabric of pure consciousness.  The experience has been signified by these sages as Being-Consciousness-Bliss.  It is the permeable edge of mental possibility, the event horizon of what we think we are as it evaporates into what we really are.

It is not something that can be thought of, nor anything that cannot be thought of; it is both thought and non-thought.  Realize the Self which is not attached in any manner.
