Buddhist ideas about consciousness?

I read today that "Normal human consciousness... (offers) to a limited number of mind contents a momentary link to a pulse of core self."

Is Buddhism about exploring/experiencing the pulse of core self?
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I'm not aware of any Buddhist schools that acknowledges any such thing. The practice involves direct experience, of which "self" is illusory.

Sounds more akin to New Age or similar.

Even "core self" (whatever that is) is temporary - it will change. Does touching core self allow one to make progress towards awakening?

It is like DARING....to put your foot....ON THE VOID...
......when you have UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING...
...on the FLAT EARTH....and you are now at its VERY EDGE!
(like leaning over from the Top of the Statue of Liberty!!!!)
(metaphorically, of course!)

(Hi Kids!...if any 'culpable' mind is reading this...

IT IS NOT leaning over from the Top of the Statue of Liberty!!!!..
....IT IS ...leaning Back INTO the Top of the Statue of Liberty!!!!..

.....IT IS NOT ...LEANING....AT ALL!!!!!!!!!

...IT is ...JUST HANGING THERE....!

Hence..Neither Gold, Diamonds, Swiss Banks, Credit Cards, Luxury Cars,
Luxury Apartments, Luxury Sexy Jobs, Luxury TV Ratings, Internet Ratings..
Beauty Queen Awards, Olympic Muscle Gold Medals....

Even if you are a Poor, Polio-Crippled Child, with a Mal-nourished Pot-Belly

There is NOTHING BELOW YOU.....that I SEE!...that I can Fathom!...

Why? I SEE....YOU...Looking at Me...with those penetrating eyes...

This sounds like gibberish. What does it mean?
