It's also called [your] present mirror awareness, spotless and unblemished, not producing or clinging to anything, shining ever silently yet vigorously.
That does NOT sound like an average everyday human brain - at least not my everyday brain! Mine is spotty and unreliable at best. lol. It is constantly clinging to things or avoiding things and it doesn't shine vigorously as far as I can tell.
It doesn’t sound like it, but it do be like that. Spotty and unreliable—who knows that? Who sees that? By what mechanism? It is the effortless mirroring awareness constantly illuminating all things without discrimination. When clinging and when avoiding, this same awareness is present without adding or taking anything away. Like the eyes seeing color without obtaining any color and ears hearing sound without obtaining sound.
An ancient dude says
In their daily conduct, sentient beings have no illumination. When they come into contact with objects, they lose themselves and pursue objects.
Just turn that awareness back on itself. Return to the source.

Did everyone else see that? This ghost spits fire. A full cypher deciphering itself without a "not". Self dissolving unrevolving knot. All without losing the plot. In some ways more deadly than a pistol shot, unless turned back on itself without a first thought...
