Excursus : Within the Realm of Enlightenment

The Burden of Evidence

The first time one is at the “doorstep” of the unknowable, the concerns that some experience of death, madness, etc. are not uncommon. Yes, you can’t fall out of the universe, but then, where is there a universe to fall out of?

Nevertheless, “right enlightenment” is only one item on the eightfold path.

So, how does one plan to incorporate an experience of truth into the way that one’s life is lived? And, into one’s understanding of life and of us, your fellow participants on this journey? First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is a mountain. What kind of mountain do you see, and what have you “brought back” from your experience?
