The path of the finite mind to its fundamental, irreducible essence is not a journey from one place or entity to another, although, as a concession to the mind’s belief in itself as a separate, independently existing entity, this discovery is often depicted as a journey, path or pilgrimage. It is more like the fading of an image on a screen. Mind is the self-colouring activity of awareness. Meditation is the fading or dissolving of this self-colouring activity and the subsequent revelation of the colourless essence of the mind, pure awareness itself.
