The 'Bliss' of Extinction

[Shi Da Dao]

Enlightenment is the end of the domination of the human mind (and body) by the taints of greed, hatred and delusion, which are permanently 'uprooted' and which can never re-appear again at any point in the perceptual process. Furthermore, as the empty mind ground is simultaneously perceived at the moment of the realisation of enlightenment - the interior of the mind is flooded with a new type of 'light' which illuminates the outer (material) world so that all its processes are fully understood and appreciated within the context of a profound humility. As there is no more habitual becoming - the process of karmic confusion is replaced with a low-level frequency 'hum' of pure bliss which bridges 'existence' and 'non-existence' at the cellular level. It appears to be the exact 'mid-point' between cellular existence, cellular death and cellular re-becoming. This is the permanent 'extinction' experienced by those who have put an end to habitual karma whilst existing within a living-body.
