Yup, I included that disclaimer for the benefit of the OP and because I didn't on my first post and should have.
Hmm, how to put this... Okay, trying to conceptualize that level of aloneness is one thing but it still has that anthropomorphic taste, if you know what I mean. The reality is we can't even begin to conceptualize that absolute state of being minus Maya and I think that has the potential to be terrifying because it seems like the same thing as mortal death. We are so invested in body, mind, individuation and personality it's hard to get past. That level of acceptance, surrender, letting go is not in our conditioned nature and does take work.
