out of noth<strong>in</strong>g, and wonder<strong>in</strong>g about those fundamental<br />
questions<br />
about the very nature of everyth<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Long lost <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>ner work<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
off on far of tangents chas<strong>in</strong>g answers to <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite questions.<br />
All paths eventually lead us to the nondual<br />
once we let go of projections of structure.<br />
Understand<strong>in</strong>g exists <strong>in</strong> a far-‐off field – I’ll see you there.<br />

All life is a fluid <strong>in</strong>teraction of energy.<br />
Structure is static,<br />
a rigid grid that does not really resemble the lay of the land,<br />
but rather an <strong>in</strong>terpretive tool dreamed up by Euclid.<br />
Our m<strong>in</strong>ds constantly quantify by judg<strong>in</strong>g and attach<strong>in</strong>g value to<br />

Once the m<strong>in</strong>d sits back, open and not attached to any particular<br />
perceptual projections, understand<strong>in</strong>g trickles and, fill<strong>in</strong>g the void.<br />
All religious traditions tend to blend <strong>in</strong> their mystical realms,<br />
the differences are merely a reflection of semantics.<br />
Words are truly crude tools towards a common understand<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
What the sayers, sages, seers, and sa<strong>in</strong>ts all say — <strong>in</strong> their own<br />
way— is that by transcend<strong>in</strong>g the limit<strong>in</strong>g projections of m<strong>in</strong>d<br />
we can <strong>in</strong>timately <strong>in</strong>teract with the wider world and slip headlong<br />
<strong>in</strong>to bliss.<br />
This hereby is the process of unw<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g the m<strong>in</strong>d.
