On a more subtle level, the absence of these is experienced.

But what is it that is experiencing?

You are the experiencing.

which can't be known in the traditional sense.

Experiencing is ineffable.

Wu Sin can't convey his experiencing of an apple or a sunset to anyone.

Yet it is the very essence of living.

Whereas existence is singular, it can take on an infinite number of shapes.

The nature of unity is this existence, consciousness and fullness.

Whereas the nature of the world emanating from this unity is name and form.

The latter is not so much an illusion as it is a distortion.

The reality we perceive in our everyday waking consciousness is a distortion, much as a stick in water appears broken because of the refracting light.

It is that out of which the sense of the personal I arises and into which it disappears.

Mind is the screen onto which images are projected.

Yet without light, the images cannot be seen.

Language is the instrument of the mind, as the mind in time and the body in space.

are the instruments of the conscious life energy.

The end of questions is the end of mind because mind is the source of all questions.

yet since mind cannot register its own absence, how is this to be known?

Whatever the experience is, true or false, the fact of experiencing is undeniable.
