this Light of Being-ness
naked, nondual, primordial Awareness
changeless immeasurable Presence
ordinary, everyday Buddha mind
advaita, awakening:
so many inadequate words for one ineffable Reality!
This blog presents a mélange of comments and confessions concerning this unlit light – brighter than the light of a thousand suns – in which, right now, perception of this web page and deciphering of these words is going on.
NB: Please don’t imagine that this unlit light is doing the perceiving and deciphering. It does zilch, yet cannot be separated from these functions. It is not categorizing, interpreting, or conceptualizing. These functions spring from thinking’s database of memory and conditioning. If you are inclined to inquire into them, the inquiry will again be arising within this ineffable unlit light.
… and this Light does know all other light as its shadow
How lovely to find you

“… and this Light does know all other light as its shadow”
This light doesn’t know any other light at all!
Truly — all is this Light.
For everyone (paradoxical as that may sound — it isn’t, though).
Love and Peace…
Couldn’t agree more dear Tim.
But that’s how the phrase landed in this pain-wracked brain. Biblical-speak almost.
Koan-like, it was a wondrous riddle for years. Until it wasn’t.
Thanks for visiting and commenting … Love and Peace to ‘you’ too … Lightbeam Tim ~ ml
Thanks, ml — drop on by my Yahoo group sometime, if you like and have the time (it’s in the website link). It’s kind of more ‘hardcore’ advaita, direct pointing, but there’s never any flaming or conflict there.
Peace…
