Image

When an image is eliminated the mind becomes empty (of its content), clear, spacious and light. This is the experience of space, the mind with content, the nature of the mind. The darkness of mental content dissipates as the lightness and clarity of Space penetrates it. This is obviously a significant step if there is going to be any fundamental change or transformation. There is no transformation, but only modification, if the image remains. This distinction is what differentiates therapy and conversion from essential realization. The latter is more of the nature of a metamorphosis; existence based on image dies and the life of Being is born. This cannot happen without the aspect of Space. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 317)

 

 

When one is familiar with nonconceptual Being, it becomes clear that the development of the mind cannot be divorced from the creation of images, since mind deals with images. There is no knowledge without images, for knowledge is composed of concepts, which are various sorts of images; the creation of these images is indispensable for discrimination in the mind. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 166)
