The various terms used to delineate being—spirit, soul, true self, Buddha nature, God within—are like so many labels pinned on empty space. Pure being can’t be pinned down because it has no characteristics in itself; rather, it’s the everpresent witness of all characteristics, the unchanging space in which all experiences come and go, the unmoved mover behind all activity, the limitless source of all things.
