a place where the mind settles down into the experienced singleness of the first unconditioned reality

At some point in our lives we return to the pristine place where the space of consciousness once emerged from the ever-present but dormant emptiness. But when we do so as adults, as our being matures, we also encounter all the psychological attractors that have influenced us, as they have interacted with us from this background in our lives. We also discover that once they have done so, and created the states in which they have made themselves present through the tension that arises in their active presence, they have also created experiences of the insightful coincidences that arise within us as they encounter our reality in the meditative self-reflection we have of our sensations, impressions and impulses and we slowly absorb the energy through our endurance, causing our mindfulness to expand, only to then retreat into the emptiness from which they arose if we endure their presence long enough. From time to time, however, we must always release them back into this background during our encounters with them until we can face them without losing our heads. Our inner balance and mental health depend on it. The fabricated characters whose attitudes we have put together to satisfy how we think others want to see us, then transform into the perspective we need to be able to see how they contaminate the content of the original whole within us, and the authenticity with which its activities relates to our inner life.
