The Unmanifested

One could say it is unconditioned, or unborn, because there are no objects of knowledge that can define it. It doesn’t have a shape, a colour, a context, a smell; it doesn’t have any spatial dimensions like length, breath, width, and it has no sense that time is passing by, yet it does not exclude the physical reality - all things seemingly appear as it, including relativistic time and space, and a conventional, functional self - such is the paradox.

However, it itself is not a container of all things; it doesn’t have a perimeter, nor a top or a bottom. It is boundless, yet it doesn’t stretch itself throughout space to fit into the definition of ‘boundlessness.’

No-self does not mean you merge into the environment and disappear. That is a type of unconsciousness, like the baby I mentioned in the first page. There must still exist the ability to define the physical world and its objects for functional purposes.

However, if you undergo an ego death, you might feel like a baby for awhile; like you can’t function. You might drool, or forget to look after your body. Never mind.

Although i have refered to it as it, it is not an ‘it’. I just used that pronoun as a transient palceholder to deliver those sentences. Those sentances are now obsolete.
