As soon as you have admitted the priority of awareness free from, or prior to, any implication that this should also explain the world then you are lost, or at least you ought to be. Does the reality of experience differ depending on whether your eyes are open or closed? Well, if it does then you must think that your eyelids are something other than awareness. Your world is ordered according to a metaphysical lacework that tells you what's up and what's down, what's inside and what's out, but all of this is groundless superstructure smuggled in against what you know to be true. It's very pretty this lacework, so much so, so aesthetically pleasing even if in somewhat outmoded taste, that in looking it over you are forced to admit that it lacks any claim to be something beyond mind. It's more of the same, awareness being unlimited in its capabilities for embodiment. No need to even so much as brush it away. You were always in free fall, no guardrail needed and no guardrail found, only this endlessly happy adequacy.
