This is of course completely imaginary, as "consciousness without

content" cannot have a "color," but I have envisioned it as a cold,

unbroken field of white, similar to the "color" seen when flying through

fluffy, white clouds in an aircraft (but utterly without the variation in

density). As Jerry once described nonduality, like the color of a blank

sheet of paper as well, or perhaps the color seen if a ping pong ball was

cut in half and each half over one eye... or the color of clean new snow

(but again, without the granularity). No matter how I "look at it," I

see white.

 

 

Even the attributeless can be given attributes by the human mind (when

that happens, the mind is worshipping or envisioning "personal God," in a

sense, so giving imaginary attributes to the attribute-less is not so

silly as one might first suspect. In fact, it can ultimately be an aid

to realizing that which has no attributes.
