"...the primordial wisdom, the naked union of emptiness and intrinsic awareness." S.R.
You want it put into words? There it is, distilled into half a dozen words for you. Now gnaw on that primordial bone awhile. Rend meaning from those words. Worry them until they relieve all worries and answer all questions. Emptiness is intrinsically awareness, as water is intrinsically wet. What is the fabric of thought? Consciousness. What is the fabric of consciousness? Emptiness. And what is the primordial tenet? Emptiness is form, form is emptiness. Emptiness > Awareness > Consciousness > Form. Each infuses each in a Big Bang of silence and stillness. Now drop all the cogitating and gaze at your own face without a mirror.
"This certainty of the View is what has to be deepened through glimpse after glimpse of the nature of mind, and stabilized through the continuous discipline of meditation." S.R.
This is exactly where I'm at. Now, with about a year and a half's distance from my last job, I can see how the pace of ripening has picked up. Fewer distractions and more concentration will do that for you. S.R. notes how the modern world impedes sustenance of these conditions. He says that despite this we can create our own climate for ripening by making "skillful use" of these negative hindrances. Of course, S.R. never worked for Motorola. I suppose some folks can awaken in the midst of clawing for survival in corporate America. All I could do was find time each day to meditate and perhaps read something hopeful. Now, finally, I feel that I have full rein. Even at this late date, it's a beautiful no-thing.
