and "sensing" this Witness as a great expanse,
if we then look at, say, a mountain,
we might begin to notice that the sensation of the Witness
and the sensation of the mountain are the same sensation.
When we "feel" our pure Self and we "feel" the mountain,
they are absolutely the same feeling.
That one goes 'up' or 'down' a mountain,
for example,
is not a valid description of the activity other than
what is relative to the observer.
Even to agree to call it a mountain,
one must realize that its name is not a description of essence,
but rather it is simply a term of agreement,
a label,
for the purpose of communication and conceptualization.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding in the human conditioning,
that to know a name is to know what it is.
