The Subtlety Of Being

This is the most refined level of absolute being, often described as extremely subtle, pure luminosity or primordial consciousness. Beyond the everyday gross mind of sensory perception and conceptual thought is subtle being where we just are. If this subtlety was obvious, everyone would be enlightened, but they aren’t.

Philosophers religious people read about it and talk about it, and the rest aren’t bothered at all. 🙂 Information that we’re pure being isn’t at the top of the list of priorities.

The test or manifestation of this realisation
is empathetic compassion,
which means we do not validate ignorance.

Quoting text is merely hearsay – information or rumours received from others that has not been personally substantiated.

We need to practise. But practise what? Apart from meditation and knowing when to drop the meditation, we need to observe our reactions which obscure subtle being / pure consciousness. This isn’t done by thinking or talking about it.

There are a lot of clever people out there
saying a lot of clever things,
but it’s all pointless unless it’s tested.

Wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge wisely.
