Therefore, observing oneself in life.
But I wonder..."radical understanding" and the person who would

Absolutely.
Expressed, whatever be the medium of expression, "it"
becomes ideation, a concept.
No matter what term is used for "it" and no matter through
whom "it" got expressed.
However there are ideations, which deal only at the superficial
level and there are ideations which go to the core.
All are ideations, all are signatures on flowing waters, including
what has/is getting expressed through this instrument,
Is there something which is not 'idea'?
:-)
Even that question is an idea, isn't it?
That there could be something which is not an idea, ........... is
it not another ideation?
In a gestalt of ideation, in a conceptual construct, ..........all
that emerges are only ideas, concepts.
Aka, in a dream-sequence, .........no matter how profound the
questioning and the answering, within a dream, between a "dream-sage"
and a "dream-seeker",.......

in the morning.
That there is a state of ................."Awakened and sipping
from a hot cup of noumenal tea",...
.............is also an ideation, when wondered about
it, in a dream-sequence, ......isn't it?
