When such a realisation happens – the metanoesis or para-vritti – the
pseudo-subject ceases to be an object and becomes void by the
superimposition of the opposites (subject-object), and through this void or
nothingness, returns to the original I-Subject, the potential plenum. This
total potentiality – the I-Subject – cannot offer Itself for comprehension
because then it would be an object. The eye can see everything else, but the
eye cannot see itself.

The term unity – a homogeneous spiritual brilliance – refers to the One
Mind, which separates into six harmoniously blended ‘elements’, or the six
sense organs. The six sense organs each become united with their relevant
objects – the eyes with form, the ears with sound, the nose with smell, the tongue
with taste, the fingers with touch, and the thinking mind with other entities.
Between these six organs and their objects arise the six sensory perceptions,
making the eighteen realms in all.
If you are able to understand that these eighteen realms have no objective
existence, you will bind the six harmo-niously blended ‘elements’ into a single
spiritual brilliance which is the One Mind. But seekers cannot avoid forming
concepts of ‘a single spiritual brilliance’ and the ‘six harmoniously blended
elements’ – this is the reason they are chained to remaining as entities and fail to
achieve the tacit understanding of the Original Mind.
