The most abstract and generic terms for what is experienced include “reality itself,” “ultimate reality,” or “Reality” with a capital R, “what is” when all our words fall away, or “is-ness without limits”—without the limits created by our language and categories. Buddhists sometimes speak of it as “suchness”—the way things are before our categorizations. William James called it “a more,” a stupendous wondrous “more” that is more than what we had imagined even as it also is present everywhere and capable of being experienced anywhere.
