Looking at the mind, knowledge, and the ego/self....

Pure consciousness as in Existence. Existence that is Existence.

It isn't existence or nonexistence. It is a flow of change that never changes (as a flow of change). Thus, it is both change and changelessness, or neither. Same difference.

The "self" is an attempted dam in the flow of change that never changes (as a dam), always stays the same -- through the belief that it spans over time, and doesn't arise/occur within the flow like everything else. It's impossible -- it never existed and never will.

Singularity. Our rationale is similar to the asymptote concept - it never hits zero. To be without a "why" and "because" would push the boundary of what it means to be human.

Yes -- to not seek answers, and not experience cause and effect. That is quite beyond the mind.

The answers the mind seek are all to questions about things that have happened in the past, and are gone -- it seeks predictability, the ability to shape and control future events. Such an attempt merely repeats the past, because the past is then shaping and controlling future events, with an eye toward improving on its own imposed limitation, creating 'better' limitation that increases its ability to control and limit.

Causation is conceptualized about things that have happened in the past, as compared to other things that have happened in the past, thus it exists in the past. It's an explanation for why events that no longer exist cause other events that no longer exist. Moreover, it assumes that a single object (like a person) can cause something to happen, in isolation from everything else in the universe, which is absurd if you think about it.

I hereby verify your statement with question! Can we transcend such demarcations?

Stay tuned to find out!

Yes -- the mind can be transcended, by seeing through it to the bottom and understanding its limitations. The primary limitation is that it is the past. The past limits the present, through knowledge about past events that are supposed to be the same every/most times they happen, but rarely are, resulting in history endlessly repeating itself. Thus, the mind is a state of ever-increasing limitation and repetition. The more knowledge, the more limitation/repetition ('power'). To know is to eliminate possibility.

What frees the mind is the absence of the self/psyche. Self is the movement to control, limit and secure. The mind becomes a free thinker in its absence.

Peace...

 

"the self is a dam in the flow of change." I like that.
