So what IS reality? Reality is - what IS. Whatever IS, whatever is happening, the rain, the trees, etc. Only we know it as rain and trees and body and thoughts and "ME" and "YOU" through the prism of perception.
Reality IS - that's it. So whatever you're "seeing", that's it. You're looking directly at pure and total reality, right now, already, without any effort, without any search, without any "enlightenment". Only there is a belief that you're seeing reality as it is and that there is a separate "seer".
Reality includes the seer, the seeing and the seen. Reality is all of it. We can only say it's broken up by using the mechanism of this perception, this mind, this limited perspective.
So see if any of it stands up to this realization that we can never actually know reality directly - we can only know that we ARE IT, that whatever it is, we can't know it directly, we can only BE it, but not as some individual "ME" character, which is just the prism.
You are reality - all of it - appearing as "separate things", individuals, trees, rain, cats, children, nonduality books, the idea of enlightenment, the suffering, literally all of it, anything that can arise. You're it.
You're not a separate person, a "ME" - you're reality, looking at itself through the limited and identified perspective called "ME". You are not a "human" - you are reality or God or Self or Oneness, looking at itself through the filter called the human perspective.
