The Descent of Man
This is the story of the spiritual master. He is inside the sun. He makes everything one.
He wrote a book. It contained the light within it. But there was something missing.
He began to understand it was in him. There was darkness within him.
He watched them laugh and play, but he saw that in the end it was dark. Emptiness was form.
He did not know the truth of what would happen. It was simple. Form was empty.
He died. He was all men.
They attempted to start again. They discovered it wasn't there.
He was space. Yet it was death.
It had never been there. He knew, but they hadn't understood.
He wanted to share his pain. But there was no one there.
He was all space in his suffering. As he waited, he realized he was all time.
It rose through fire and water, and earth and air only to descend. Then there was nothing.
He wondered what it was to descend so far. He found a strange paradox within it.
It was in all things. Something both false and true.
He lashed out. He saw it was there, they were all around him. The darkness was all things.
He knew what it was. Form was empty.
They had this knowledge. But they did not understand it.
So although this wisdom gave him life, it brought them only death. Emptiness was form.
He destroyed them. He showed them the paradox of form and emptiness.
That was his journey into the light. To bring the one and the many together.


The Cycle of the Seasons
What is art? It is good to make art, yet the subject of art is not always good. Therefore because of suffering it cannot be true objectively. Yet the truth of art is to create. Earth, Man and Heaven (The id, ego, and superego) as well as the soul itself are within this. They are form, matter, time, and emptiness.
There is Man, to create; Earth, to percieve; and Heaven, to transcend. These are the three within space subject to the reaction of time. So the Soul splits them in two, as it is emptiness, and creates life and death within the art and the artist, as base and acid, heart and mind, and light and gravity on each of these three levels they come to form a sacred body which is the same within all matter as the seven chakras of the universal substance. It is contained within him, within his body. So it all exists and comes to form a world because he has the power to create, since it is within him.
It becomes one, as it is alive. Within that there are two, that is, it has form. It becomes a symbol. It becomes real. Yet it is not real.
There is change and there is what is real. And between these two all law. It all becomes knowledge, so that it is one, aperspectival. Then it is not one, but many, with perspective. So it is all things.


The Kleshas
In Hell the demons know it's all mumbo-jumbo. They put it to the test and it always fails. Untrue. Everything just emolates. There isn't anything to it. It doesn't do anything, they all say. They're with Satan. They don't believe in him, but then again they aren't real either.
The Aliens are mad. They just probe and they don't care what it is. But they're four feet tall. They're evil, and they want to destroy you. But it's always just the same. So they go out and dissect a cow. But no one really notices, and they don't even make the news anymore.
The Animals don't know you, and they don't want to. They believe in death. They all eat it, and no one really notices what it is. Then they see it on the news and go crazy. It's them. But they don't know what it is. So they just eat it.
The Men declare war, and fight against each other. Some are devils and others are fools. They all see. Years later they tell stories about the war. It's all covered up. They clean up real nice and hug. Everybody lies. There were many points of view to the war. So they all just fade away. Then they wake up old men, and know, and it's all empty. But it is.
The Ghost doesn't have a life, so he takes yours. He's a dream who thinks he's real. He's stuck in a chair. His whole life he was a loser, then finally when you smack him for saying boo, he wakes up and realizes it's all a dream. He knows you don't know this, so he terrifies you. You scream at him that he isn't real, and he knows. You can't understand. So he makes noises and gets his perv on. He throws his sheet on and goes out into the world. He spends years on the haunt. He loves it so much he aims to find you.
The Gods will help you. But they want your wallet. They just embarrass you after that. But if you give them your soul then they do you. But when they raid the fridge they want their food fresh and pure. But it's always full of stupidity, war, and denial. It's just samsara. So it's all they ever get. They know what to do. They purify your mind with a good whuping! Then they roll.
The Ruler is aghast. He killed all the trolls. He repopulates the human race. He eats his beef. When he talks about the war he gets like a ghost and unmasks the ringleaders: the aliens were fighting with the animals. Then he stirs up a revolution. The fans surround him. He just stands there, and he sees.


The Entrapment in Matter
There is rest. So there are two: birth and death. One is false and one is true.
But which are they? We examine, and find one exists. But which is it? Niether are true.
We think that birth is true, because we think we have life. Then we find it is death, because we feel bad. Niether are. Yet one still is. It is discursive thought.
So it is. Yet it is empty. So it is one. But it isn't real. It is our own mind.
There is only the mind. So there is no birth or death, and what was black is white, and what was white is black.
What arises comes from emptiness and returns to it. Both sides of the arising in the subconscious and departing in the superconscious are empty.
So there is no unconscious mind, it is all one, all true.
Yet everything is groundless, so all is a lie.
Each thing is unborn, so it has no other soul but itself.
What is true is unborn.
All lies have their creation in material things and events, in habitual patterns and mental conditioning.
Yet all karma is false.
Only the soul is true.
Because the soul sees both life and death as non-existant.
Therefore it is only within the mind that death and life exist.
The mind comes and goes, so life and death are true, and there is nothing else to rely upon.
But within the subconscious and birth there is nothing but the mind, so it is true.
Yet within the superconscious and death there is nothing but coming and going and the mind is not.
So birth, the mind, and death are empty.
These three are ceaseless, the essence of space.

The Explanation of Science
Medicine sees science is both false and true. It sees that science sees itself as beyond all coming, existing, and going. Yet when put to the test, is it the essence of space? No, it clearly exists. So it must die. Then it is released. The explanation of science gave us nothing at all. But it was for a reason. To uncover the soul. But the soul does not exist. Form is emptiness then. Yet emptiness also is form. So there is the mind.

The Amygdala
The Amygdala is this: a formation in the temporal lobe. So it processes time. In several invertebrates it does not exist. So it processes time clearly. It has several distortions: the up, the down, the in, the out. Yet time moves as one. So therefore we do not think clearly. We think as humans. Thinking clearly really does not exist. We see, and are, and so we have life. But it is false. Even this.

The Veil of Darkness
The banana is just a kiss. Hers. But she doesn't want it. She wants it dirty, but she never tells him. He's petulant. She's gravy.
The pickle knows this, and he wants her. But he has another woman and she wants it all over her face. But he hates her. So they both exist... for now.
The blues are all wrong. She wants to taste him, but she'll never let it out: him. So she just dances.
It tastes good. So, it's wrong! The fuschia is crazy. But his woman isn't. She's lame... and wrong.
The purple penis understands her. He's gay... with a hard-on. He wants his sauce. Now! Wait a minute, who was it?
"Eat!" He tells her. The hot dog is all wrong, and that's right, in sex. But he's all wrong in life.
And that, my friends, is the bottom line.

The Liberation
Suffering is self-liberated. This is good. It creates the ego, but also ends it.
Birth so white, through death knows all, and is the evil of the world, and pain, and blackness.
Black death raised all the light, and the feeling, and the knowledge of emptiness through rebirth, and also knows all.
So therefore the law is that what is good is bad, and what is bad is good, because birth is all pain, knowing the end of time, and death is all pleasure, knowing the beginning. So there are two (pleasure and pain, id and superego, light and dark) which know each other through us, and there is a strange reversal between them, and this reversal is the law, which is also the conscious mind. So the three are one. In other words, the sun rises and sets, and remains the sun. So there is the principle of the light within it, and the dark is the gravitational rotation. But there is one more: the sky.
Yet we see it, so there is a lunar principle. The law is the outlaw, because when one dispenses justice one becomes an outlaw. We deal violence and punishment to the accused. It is death.
But also life. The moon is divided into light and dark, and without the light of the sun, those on the dark side are entrapped within it, because they lose all selfhood.
But is the self good? Some think it is, and are fools because while they think this others kill for their evil souls. The truth is the self is niether good nor bad.
What is true is true, and untrue, untrue. The law is simply the conscious mind.
But some do not have the conscious mind. They are completely without the ego. Some are eternalists, and others nihilists. Some think they understand, others refuse to.
As the saying goes, 'Kill the Buddha if you meet him on the path'. The awakened one agrees blindly, as does the outlaw. But are they awakened when they are just taught to agree? To avoid their own awareness, and rational development, as well as system, order, and consciousness?
The truly awakened one knows these things. So he is an outlaw.
The law is not here. As creation becomes perception in our strange reversal, creation becomes Earth. Man is the law, simple perception, and Heaven does not know. The sun passes through the sky and sinks below the horizon. It leaves the Moon. It is all that remains of the soul in the small hours, divided and empty. It exists beyond the three. It is insane. It is their law, impermanence and change.
The sky is black. Is it the beginning or the end? Did we come from the cold or do we progress into it?
The stars never change.

So why is this in Eastern Faiths and not in Off-Topic Occult?

You want me to put it there?
It's obviously mostly buddhist concept.
