Robert, please, don´t understand this as a challenge. Out of utmost respect, I´d ask you to please clarify for me terms such as "bright" or "Light", which are problematic for their objective qualities, since all my insights and awakenings are related to "Identity", an totally quality-less, Absolute, Impersonal, Eternal Aware Space, emanating "Expression", a fleeting spaciotemporal body-mind perspective, with displacing our Identity into a particular body-mind form among those in "Expression" as the root of our suffering.
So I intuited that when you mention "Light" you don´t mean an objective, visible kind of subtle energy, and the same goes for "bright". In today´s post, you mention in your poem that "that bright Light is no Light at all". Does this mean, as I think, that they are poetic, simbolic terms more than literal "brightness" or "light"?
Thank you very much for any word you might say. It is an important subject for me.
We could also use the term 'clarity'. What must be understood is that, even though we may perceive a very bright light, what we see with our senses or visualize with our mind is not an object, nor is it the actual Dharmakaya experience. It is our natural condition, which reflects objects of mind. So, since the Nature of Mind is beyond subject and object, we are constrained by examples and symbols, at least until we realize the Nature of Mind through direct experience. My teacher said that it is mind going into the nature of mind, much like a reflection going into a mirror.

Thank you very much, Robert, for the explanation. I like "clarity" as a symbol and appreciate and understand your explanation:)
