Withdrawing and re-creating the world

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

 

When you stop pretending and fall asleep, you

withdraw the entire world into your heart just like

the spider withdraws its web into its own body.

 

Then, when you awaken again, you spontaneously

recreate the web-of-life and get quickly ensnared by

the irresistible seductiveness of your own reflection.

 

The fear-and-desire diversions that immediately arise

cleverly distract you from remembering the Truth of

who you really are.

 

But then, of course, you're better able to play out into

the wonders of your wonderland.

 

Sleeping again, though, you once more become the

destroyer of worlds.
