When there is nothing to reflect perfect clarity seems to exist. Reminds me of looking up at 90' of clear water and seeing only light. So, when our mind perceives, it can only sense what it's capable of of sensing. Thus, if you realize that our minds cannot sense accurately then reality becomes fluid and can only have an intellectual approximation. When mind gets closer and closer to 'trance state' brain activity slows. All things dissolve towards emptiness. The virtue of emptiness seems limitless. in peace, gar
