    Oh, man… Now I have tears in my eyes. I have wandered so far—

    —and lost became
    within these and those
    horizons whose circles
    encircled my mind
    before I knew—hemmed in
    by my own echoes,
    echoing echoing echoing
    down canyons that are not
    real—and now
    in a hammered silence
    no echoes at all, only
    this dance…

    ...[text shortened]... saw again the beasts that used to protect him. And never again the birds brought him flowers

    Let my dull tongue be untied by another's words;

    "In the very moment, therefore, of an event occurring,
    whoever recognizes the language of biased projection
    and morally discriminating goal-directed endeavour
    as unreal, then like the nonactive sky,
    he catches all experience in the snare of absence"

    The Bardo is like—
    a revolving door!

    People keep thinking
    they’ve spun out
    to some new place, or
    another “bardo”.

    But it’s all the same Bardo,
    just in an other light …

    Fallen into phenomena you cannot break free, because attaining forms, sounds, smells, tastes, things to be touched and things to be evaluated you are chained on characteristics and thus chained in theories. Since the conception of a self, of a being, of a soul, of a person does not occur, the “good stuff” is just a projection of your mind; form is emptines, emptiness is form😵

    So when your next unsupported projection is to be produced by you, acknowledge that a thought of your mind supported by nothing is to be produced, acknowledge that a thought unsupported by form is to be produced. The self-existence of the mind is enormous, but the mind is neither existent nor not existent and its projections are empty. How can you side-step your projections? Just dive into the silent intervals that occur between each single projection of your mind: become an Observer and break free -there is no thing you have to break free from but You; who are You?

    You are free to "choose" whatever; whatever you will finally choose, it will be projected from your own mind alone. Just find out which thoughts of yours are 100% yours and which are merely injected into your mind😵
