WIth regards to Brad's viewpoint on suchness. From my understanding it is what it is without embelishments. So something without adjectives. The lack of being able to describe it in that moment lies not only in the limitations of literal description, but also being able to see something in its complete totality which includes the origin of the source down to the end thereof not excluding the process in which that source in that moment exist. Which is the point of thussness. Anything else that we try to assign to a phenomena falls outside the paradigm of this ultimate reality and borders on imagination. So then this would relate to the core of awakening. The way the Buddha was able to see everything in an instant, I think this is what is meant. Absolute wisdom. Not excluding anything. Everything exists with the notion that it exist in both its initial conceptualization and its end. That is suchness.
