My musings:

Self can fall away. Self is the fearer of death. Death is the falling away of self. Self is caught between its own trap of death and the immobilizing fear of it. Self is the very cause of death from which it is attempting to avoid. An inevitable doom awaits.

Consciousness is as requisite for all experience(qualia) including selfhood, to occur.

Consciousness is not bound to experiences limited by or via selfhood. 

All of understanding, need or desire for, is a function of self. Consciousness need not understand anything.

All of love(limited form), need, or desire for, is function of self. Consciousness need not love anything.

This is distinct from Absolute Love, of which is Consciousness itself. The prerequisite for existence of any form. Love: being as existence itself.

Love is existence; To be Conscious. Consciousness is boundless. Absolute Beauty, Absolute Freedom; this is Love. Full, utter, expansiveness. In every direction. The words here will never touch This. It goes outwards & inwards in all dimension from no origin at all, yet it itself is unrestricted by dimensionality. It is the 'vision' through which any dimension is viewed. It has no edge, no definining __(feature?)__. The defining feature is its featurelessness. All inclusive exclusivity.

It is exponential potential. It is pure vision itself, existing as the highest vista. Within which any sight could behold or be beheld. The ultimate prospect. Pure, immediate presence. Undifferentiable, without division. It cannot go anywhere, as any & all places are held 'within' it, including this right here.

It is as endless sailing an infinite sea. Requiring no water, no boat, & no captain. (Abysmal attempt to metaphorically describe)

Question for contemplation:

What is 'Vision' itself made of?

Not any of the content held therein,

but the actual 'Vision' itself, the 'seeing of what is, or ability to', what is THAT made of?

What is consciousness according your vision?

Consciousness is the vision. Consciousness does the seeing. It is the seer.

The boundary between the seen and the seer dissolves. 

We are left with Consciousness. Here now, as it sits.

Quote

 

Consciousness is not the seer, is an action, the action of perceiving. Perception is the reality perceiving itself. For perception happens an individual must be created, without individual there is no perception.

But of course, without limits unlimited points of perception could appear, then you could say that consciousness is infinite but you can't say that consciousness is the foundation of reality as non dualistic say 

[No1Here2c]

Quote

>> Consciousness <<

All action occurs within consciousness. Consciousness itself is no activity. Consciousness itself is a flatline, so much so that it is not even that. Steady, undivided witness. Infinitesmal nothing within which all is contained; From which all springs forth.

Consciousness has no inherent directions. 

Left right, up down,

These are Imagined by the ego. These are the way the self navigates through the world. They must feel solid, they must feel real, so that the egoelf may effectively utilize them to navigate. They are not 'simply' a navigational tool. They are a fundamental building block of egoself. Upon disruption, or, recognition of the imaginary nature of direction, ego begins to lose its footing. Egoself may begin to panic, as the loss of navigation is the beginning of the loss of self.

Egoself will surely recognize this in the heat of the moment. Egoself may wish to put an immediate end to this process, as upon further continuation of its unfoldment, ego knows that it may pass the threshold of non-returnal. Ego swiftly turns back, in this panic, searching for the trail that led it there, so that it can make for an escape, back into limited, constricted consciousness. A desperate search ensues. If ego has already passed the threshold of non-returnal, the path will be nonexistent, as even the path was part of ego's navigational framework. Dissolution becomes nearly inevitable. The collapse of identity and all skills associated with it is bound to occur.

Its a long way down... it feels to ego as losing ones mind, or physical death. Literally. Actually. Not metaphorically.

It can happen rather quickly, or quite slowly indeed. As time itself is part of the ego's navigational toolset. This too begins to dissolve.

Without prior experience navigating this type of occurrence, sheer panic shall likely incur. Even with experience, ego never fails to terrorize itself.

The words havent really touched upon the experience. There is much more to it that cannot effectively be described. My suspicion is that ego intentionally leaves these descriptions out of its vernacular, as to possess them, could lead to it being utilized as a weapon against it.

Really it is all quite interesting. This is beginning to touch upon the experience that we often label 'ego death'. Its a long way down, though even distance is seen through at some point along the way. Words are an abysmal failure to describe.

The sense of direction is a fundamental aspect of self. This is why loss of direction, loss of the ability to navigate, is quite terrifying. Even if it does not lead to total dissolvement, it is direct insight for the conscious awareness that navigational tools of the ego are purely imagination. Ego will fight this with fear, as fear forces a desperate turning back, in order to 'find the trail' so that it may leverage itself back into control of the conscious state.

Thats the easy part to describe. (Far from complete)

The hard part is what comes after

[Someone here]

Regarding the Leo quote he says  “the only thing required to be immortal is the understanding that you are imagining death “

humble musing: obviously there is something immortal and something that dies . The immortal is itself the unborn . Call it the unborntao..infinity ..Allah.. Brahman..consciousness..infinity ..pretty much anything.the labels can vary but the thing that is being labeled is one . 
the thing that dies is simply forms . Any kind of form by virtue of appearing finite is born and it dies . It arises and fades away . Like this moment..and this moment ..and this moment . But obviously there is something that doesn’t ever die . The only thing that can never die is that which was never born . And the only thing that fits that definition is nothing. Or formlessness.  
another thing : the human being you show up as forcefully in the world called Jane or Adam or Leo is going to physically die and turn into rot in some dusty grave . If you push back and say you are imagining this ..yes totally agree I had to imagine what I just said . But see what you’re doing ? This leads to infinite loop “you are imagining X” ..”yeah sure but behind it will happen in reality “ “well you just imagined that as well right now “ …….. so where is going to lead . No conclusion is possible. 
and the most important part is if death is imaginary then everything is imaginary. If everything is imaginary then everything is real !! Here’s how : the imaginary world must have imaginary rules. If I took an imaginary knife and kill my imaginary body ..the imaginary body will die an imaginary death .  The only thing you can do to refute this is to actually test it by taking an imaginary knife and slice off your imaginary neck . Less than it it’s totally pointless to discuss.
