We find in the Buddhist lexicon some of the most wonderful words, and one of those wonderful words is "prajnaparamita". Prajnaparamita is a noun referring to a state of comprehension. The Sanskrit translates roughly to "wisdom, most high", but what is actually referred to is the state of "comprehension of things as they are".
Of course everyone automatically assumes that they perceive the world and themselves as they are. They do this without thinking, and yet their assumption is charged with thought. I mean.....when you think about it, is it possible that thought could encompass reality? Is the universe trapped in a coconut? Prajnaparamita is about comprehension, and comprehension is about intelligence interfacing it's environment. With the awakening of prajnaparamita ones humanness becomes translucent. Yes, one is fully human; but ones humanity is a vehicle in which the universe discovers its self. The darkness of matter spontaneously ignites: does the Sanskrit word Buddh means Light?
Well, let there be light.
