I've shared the following text (which I originally came up with as a way to convey my conceptual understanding/interpretation of reality to the Architect in a way that is as concise as possible and doesn't contain any unnecessary fluff) in a few places online before, but since I am now part of this illustrious group of mystics right here, I thought I'll share it with you people too.
Don't be shy to let me know what you think... and keep in mind that this is of course only a conceptual model which, just like any other conceptual model, is nothing but an incomplete and ultimately inadequate abstraction.
Enjoy. 🕉

The Absolute is the totality of Being. It has no specific quality, as it is the origin, the sum, and the essence - or field - of all possible qualities. Therefore, the Absolute cannot be directly experienced; an experience is always the experience of something definable, i.e. of something that possesses a concrete quality. In other words: Reality is only ever partially perceivable, experienceable and cognizable, but never as a complete whole.
Consciousness or experience of reality is therefore only possible where the Absolute seemingly splits up into several parts and establishes contrasting relations between them; it is the contrast between these different parts (or states) that gives them their specific qualities and thus makes them experienceable. Relativity is thus a necessary condition of existence: No relations -> no contrast -> no qualities -> no experience / cognition of reality.
In order to perceive itself, the consciousness of the whole, which can only ever be experientially aware of specific parts or aspects of itself, must constantly alternate between contrasting qualitative states; therefore, no state can ever be permanent. However, a state can appear more or less permanent if the speed or vibrational frequency with which consciousness shifts between contrasting states is accordingly low (-> one-sided fixation, relative stagnation, seeming incompleteness / fragmentation, suffering). But the higher the frequency, the more consciousness approaches a holistic experience of total reality where contrasting qualitative states seem to be experienced simultaneously (-> unification and integration of all opposites, 'spiritual awakening", "enlightenment"). This is the essence of all spirituality.
