Bugoff has a good start. From a consciousness perspective my experience is: FIRST THERE IS A MOUNTAIN-first there is the usual way of looking at the world, subject/object; THEN THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN-at this level, witness of one's life as subject/object becomes predominant, a lack of body awareness can occur, yet consciousness is present; THEN THERE IS-the totality of the experience becomes present, grace predominates, the groove is on.
