The Ultimate Reality

When asked by a student, "What is the ultimate reality?", the zen master simply pointed.

What he was saying is that this is the ultimate reality, the one we have now. Here, on this planet, in this form of existence, at this level of awareness. It is far beyond anything we could have ever imagined in our pre-awareness state, before birth. Simple consciousness is clearly our greatest gift, life itself.
Do what you will, but learn how to better make consciousness work for you. That means being clearsighted about things, about attaining an even keel, and recognizing within yourself the infinite limit of your knowledge. Everything in life is phenomenal. Pay attention.
