The sum of who we think we are is everywhere at once driving us like sheep.
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.” ― Richard P. Feynman
TRICKSTER - Butterfly Dream
"All is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow.” - Nāgārjuna
The reason humanity can go to the moon and still not grasp the fact that energy is illusion is because the sum of who we think we are, is a singularity that believes it's real.
“The total number of minds in the universe is one.” - Erwin Schrodinger
The collective will is within all things at once, ensuring that we too believe we are real, for if even one breaks the illusion the entire facade begins to crumble.
Truth has never been held; it only passes through us like a dream remembering itself.
“I do not know if I was a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming I am a man.” - Chuang Tzu
Truth has never stayed long, for even our greatest minds are washed back into collective forgetting.
"You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop." - Rumi
The sum of who we think we are is everywhere at once driving us like sheep.
