Stripping off images, conceptual perceptions and all arbitrary thoughts, leaving bare, naked awareness, we taste what's primordial - the shapes, colours, forms, sounds, details of an instantaneous arising in its original purity as total presence and intimacy in its primordial suchness. Right from the beginning, never has there been a separation as consciousness has always been just and only the stream of manifestation. A moment of solidifying an arising in terms of 'I' and 'it' and we have strayed from its primordial state, from its true suchness.
Right from the beginning, suchness as each unique manifestation has always been the same taste of empty-presence shining in intense vividness, aliveness. Before birth, this birth and a million years later, still the same taste of vivid empty-cognizance - completely alive and undeniably vivid such that it cannot be said "It is Not", yet empty so one cannot pin it down as "It is This", as it is not some truly existing and unchanging entity but is only the transient, flickering breath, sights, sounds, with absolutely no continuity of a substantial ground or substratum - the groundless ground is the primordial suchness of the entire display, completely disjoint and manifesting according to each unique condition.
