“Things” could not exist apart from. their subject. No object can have apparent independent existence.
Appearance, whatever from it may take, being objectification of what objectifies itself, is inseparable from its objectifier.
Therefore, object and subject are devoid of duality, different only as concepts, the one conceived as see-er, the other as what is seen, hearer and heard, toucher and touched, thinker and thought.
Neither has any wort or kind of being apart from the other and as “one” both are uncognisable and phenomenally inexistent as anything whatever.
Noumenon (mind) manifesting itself objectively by the mechanism of appearance is non-duality extended and rendering itself perceptible in an imagined context of space and duration.
Such spatio-temporal context is integral in every sensorial perception and like the divided concepts in makes manifest is an expression of noumenality, both transcendent and immanent.”

“A perception, sudden as thinking, that subject and object as one, will lead to a deeply mysterious wordless understanding, and by this understanding will awaken to the truth of Chan [enlightenment].”

“Things” could not exist apart from. their subject. No object can have apparent independent existence.
Appearance, whatever from it may take, being objectification of what objectifies itself, is inseparable from its objectifier.
Therefore, object and subject are devoid of duality, different only as concepts, the one conceived as see-er, the other as what is seen, hearer and heard, toucher and touched, thinker and thought.
Neither has any wort or kind of being apart from the other and as “one” both are uncognisable and phenomenally inexistent as anything whatever.
