Consider this interview with philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel ...

... about the unreliability of introspection (like a brain trying to perceive (e.g. feel) itself or an eye seeing itself. :eyes:) esp. @ 25:00, 31:00 & 48:30

:chin:

Has a person who is completely blind from birth ever reported "seeing the uncreated light"? If not, and if such a phenomenon is reported by others, then why hasn't anyone born blind ever "seen the inner light"?

This is from the YouTube clip at the bottom, at about 0:30.
“I suddenly perceive in the core of my being this immortal light. Why is it called uncreated light? This [pointing to a ceiling light] is created light. Even the sunlight is created light.” [clip ends abruptly]

I understand “core of my being” as consciousness and “immortal light” as the ultimate ground of existence. In an analogy, the universe is like a movie, and the universe’s ultimate ground is God, an impersonal, immanent God. Brahman, if you like. Or energy, which cannot be created or destroyed. In meditation of the type that stills thoughts, emotions and physical sensations, we enter into our core, i.e., consciousness. It’s our core because it’s central to all the thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations we experience. Consciousness is like the backbone of the human body, or the trunk of a tree. It’s core.

So, seeing the eternal ultimate ground shining in the core of my being, is equivalent experiencing God there. It’s self-realization because my inner core, my self, is realized as being the same as the universe’s ultimate ground. Atman is Brahman.

Here's a quote from St. Augustine.
. . . I entered even into my inward self . . . and beheld with the eye of my soul . . . above my mind, the Light Unchangeable. Not this ordinary light, which all flesh may look upon, nor as it were a greater of the same kind . . . It made me; and . . . I was made by It. He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is; and he that knows It, knows eternity. . . . Thou art my God . . .

One reason I like the above line of thought is that I find it so much more satisfying, intellectually and philosophically, than, to be blank, religion’s fairy tales. And I think it may even be a true and accurate picture of reality.
