    Hi Terry, Great to see and hear you again. Thanks for your thoughts.

    I may look at those links you sent. And I too am unsure if any of my experience is what I should label TGS, luminous emptiness, naked mind, and the like.

    But what the conversation is getting me to is the reminder to just look, see for myself while accepting that some of what is described in the texts, both as recognition and mistakes, does describe some of my experience. And expecting that that will shift as I go on.

    This is more relaxing, and I think leaves me better able to be surprised.

    Thanks, Brij, for you comments.

    Yes, what is the role of the experiencer in this? When mind sees itself, is mind its own object? Is it subject/object union instead of split?

    I think my problem is that I have not experienced any time when I am not conscious of being the experiencer who experiences it. Even in the fleeting moments when I do feel I am experiencing naked awareness, I am still aware that I am experiencing it. Which makes it not that naked. Which probably means what I experience isn’t yet what the text is talking about. That seems likely to me, but in terms of making the inquiry, I so far have not found anything I would call “the nature of mind.” All I can find is MY experience.

    So, onward.
