from "Open Secret", chapter 70 (cont.)

There is no other apart from self,
No non-being apart from being,
No non-manifestation apart from manifestation,
Not because that is conceptually inevitable,
But because their mutual existence is Apperceiving.---Wei Wu Wei

  1. Wayne Liquorman has called Apperception "perception without a perceiver (or anything perceived)."

  2. There are three degrees of cognising:
    (1) Perceiving phenomenally
    (2)Perceiving noumenally
    (3)Apperceiving non-dually,upstream of conceptualisation.---Wei Wu Wei

  3. Non-dual cognising(apperceiving) apprehends phenomenality and noumenality as not separate, which implies the dissolution of all opposites and complementaries, and is pre-conceptual.---Wei Wu Wei
