Nowhere to Go

The reason why you can't look at yourself is because you're already there. There is no you to look at you. If so, you are divided, and there's where you'll find the source of conflict. What you try to be is illusion. You can't go anywhere that does not exist. And you venture farther away from truth with your pretense and hope. Therein lies the whole reason why there is war, poverty, and hate. Your ideals, your identifications, your hope, your trust, your beliefs: These are all ways to escape and to create division. And when they fail you, and they will, you are bitter and disoriented.

There is nowhere to go. You are right there. There's no path to truth. The many paths are sources of division and confusion. There's no method, methods are hypnotism and distraction. Just look and see. Just pay attention. If you can't see, then find out why. Inquire, investigate, but don't put on the pretense. The pretense is the whole reason you can't see in the first place.

I Am a Projection of Thought

It's not a matter of pretending that the past does not exist. It's a matter of realizing it's illusory, a concoction, and that we're caught in the concoction. It's a matter of realizing that psychological time is memory, a recording, and various projections. It's a matter of seeing all that in a whole way and, therefore, seeing that it takes multiple forms, though it's all the same thing. Whether it is hero-worship, ideology and doctrine, identity, politics, or self-projection as self-importance and status, it's all the same process: Me and mine.

"I" am made up of the past and projections into the future; all products, fabrications, of thought. And the tragedy is that something so completely fake can cause brutality, murder, isolation, and sorrow.
