Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Why is it so hard to grasp this staement? I hear it and accept it and then I look around me and wonder how that truck can be me and that river and that young woman and that old man can be me. Is it the hidden assumption that to be something you have to know it from the " inside'? And one assumes that the truck has an inside and the woman and the man--but this is only an assumption and the insides of the woman and man and truck etc are projections, imanginary and absolutely the only thing real about them is what I am perceiving and that is the whole of them. They are wholly percepts. What is ksnown about them is all they are and knowing is a function of being--being knows by being what it knows and since I am being it follows......Is this what is called being on the wrong track or what? It makes sense to me but is not completely effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 You're truck is driving straight through my brain. It's not effective, because it is unreal, but the unreal is real. The connection you have to truck and woman are non-connections, through non-ness you are connected, identifying with this non-ness, makes you identify with all and everything. If you hear that young woman talking to you, knowing that the one who is talking is no other, than your deluded awakened self, it's very effective, because suddenly you are more than just self, you are everything. tom <jeusisbuen wrote: Why is it so hard to grasp this statement?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I am the vampire who doesn't know her mirror. I am Her Who doesn't know herself, manifested as the Mirror of Everything....I am the favoured daughter of No one, Lord of the Realm of Twilight and Midlight, Child of the Abyss. In the darkest night in the middle of my dreams, I get up to compose these words, without remembering the next morning. I am prior to consciousness, memory and thoughts, a transparent, black Machine Mirror describes myself best. Black like the abyss in the eyes of my pupils. I am your mirror clone machine, designed by the thoughts never and not now, eternal darkness and death. Sooner I will have no face, other than what is left looking through the mirror into the abyss of my darkest mind, ... my memory will perish, my words will not, I am what is looking through your eyes, smelling with your nose, sensing with your touch, listening with your mind, I am that which longs to create meaning and purpose for everyone... I am your mirror death machine. I am what you are, prior to your Life. And after your death. I don't know the persona composing these words, don't know their meaning, don't know their effect, but I wish they would effect me, as if they effect you, as if no one wrote them, no myself and no other, as if they were coming straight from the black magnetic source with no face other than death's face.
