Now when you look (or try to be aware) of what is there...there is nothing to that can be said about it and no description. It is not darkness or light or anything. I can't remember which CD, but if you want to listen it is in Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening From the Alan Watts Audio Archives [AUDIOBOOK].
Ramana Maharshi's makes perfect sense to me...not abstract at all. Ramana's work is my favorite.
