   he would always say that his state was not an   
   experience. he also said that any answer he   
   would give as to his state would be just another   
   concept and that his state was prior to concept.   
      
   he said his state was the ultimate state and that   
   you could not describe it and that it was free of   
   all the universes, whatever that might mean.
