Awakened awareness can become a refuge. It's a place beyond reactivity, beyond suffering, beyond any real sense of self. And yet there's a sense of luminosity, love, and clarity. This radiant mind isn't something created or invented or produced—it’s actually there all the time, but it’s covered over. So what we do in our Insight practice is a combination of clearing out some of the obscurations—the habits and conditioning—and opening and finding ways to access and touch it.
