Nothing is beyond words, where things human are concerned, and even where things spiritual are concerned, as the entire "spiritual" world is entirely language-based. Babies don't know a thing about the "spiritual world"; they simply don't know anything about anything - physical or otherwise - and must be told about everything... and therein lies "the beginning" of the unknown realms.
The joke, really, is this: Whenever somebody uses the word, "self" (as in, "I know MY self", or "I remember MY self", or "I observe MY self") they are telling a monstrous fib, that even they would realize could they but get out of the way of that "self-thing" they believe they have "access" to, but don't in actuality.
There is no self, to remember, to observe, to know. "Self" is just a word pointing to a unending process, that started at conception or earlier and is still ongoing (kind of like the "Big Banging" which also is), and NO PROCESS CAN BE SEEN, NO PROCESS CAN BE KNOWN, except from the outside, and there is no outside for ordinary consciousnesse confined (as it was, is, and likely will remain) to the same cell in which it first arose - in you - due to the "marriage of sperm and egg."
The very idea, "remember yourself", said with a straight face and with all seriousness is a dead giveaway that the person has absolutely NO CLUE WHATSOEVER what's going on. Same with people who use the capitalized word, "God" in a sentence, always meant to be taken quite seriously. They have both seen their days - and that was yesterday! Today, they're empty calories incapable of stimulating the nervous system to the degree necessary to cause the excitement The Ways point to, which is what has always been referred to as, "enlightenment, nirvana, awakening," and other strange sounding notions.
A workable definition of the reality behind the ordinary conception of "enlightenment, nirvana, awakening," is that it represents heightened neural excitement. It is excitement at such a level that there is no self-calming counterpart. It is excitement above the level of consciousness at which ordinary humanity is stuck like glue, and everything at and below that line then becomes the dampener (the Line itself is "support" - for those above it - and "resistance" - for those below it) which affects everyone embarking upon The Way. Everything below the line - while being crazy, confusing, scary, chaotic, dangerous, etc. - nevertheless, has an extreme self-calming effect upon one's Desire for the Higher. That calming effect is necessary for humanity - individuals in general, part of the status quo, in order to keep everyone "in their place in line" (in the abattoir queue) - but is absolutely NOT necessary for those of "our lineage", "our bloodline"... not by a long, Long, LONG SHOT!
Ask somebody who "claims" to be able to practice consistent "impartial self-observation" how to expand their consciousness above the general line referred to above, in order to access the excitement that would represent, and watch their cats grab their tongue as they go utterly silent, eyes rolling up, and around and around, stumbling, scrambling, staring into space looking for something, ANYTHING to say...
...Still Waiting...
