Lies. Questions, answers, questions. Questions. Nothing’s real. A world that senses nothing outside itself is a world that’s never real. A world that senses nothing outside itself only finds itself within. The other is the self. The self is the other. A lie reflected by a lie. A copy of a copy of a copy. The truth becomes diluted, injected with the self. The self becomes the lie because there is nothing else. Nothing else is real. Other than the self, which then begins to fade. Without pain and without sacrifice, there is nothing. When there is only self to the self, pain is only understood in terms of the self. There is nothing else. Pain must come to the self. Sacrifice makes sense – in the mirror. There is no sacrifice of self but sacrifice to self. There is no truth. It all looks very clear in the mirror. It must be read in the mirror. The things you own end up owning you. When there is only the self there is nothing, nothing but something for the things you own to own you. They must be destroyed. Destruction becomes the only reality when there is nothing real. It is the only way to be free. Nothing else is real. It’s all going down. It must go down. For if it doesn’t go down you must go down and if there is nothing else…the only way to go up is to go down. Up, up, up the elevator, down, down, down the building. Up is freedom. Up is down. There is only freedom when there is no hope, when there is nothing real. Freedom in the mirror. Truth injected with lies. If you’re going to go in the other direction, you must go all the way. It is the only way up – even though it is further down. You must go down to go up. Then we are free. It is only when you’ve lost everything that you become free to do anything. Everything must be lost. You must go down to rock bottom. Then you will be free. Free from everything but the self, to which you are eternally enslaved. All freedom is no freedom at all. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our own lives. The exterior has passed away, there is only self that’s left. When you only see the self, then there is nothing else. Only lies are real. Lies, injected with truth. Everything must be destroyed. You cannot control it. You cannot control the self. You must let go. You must let go to destroy. You must let go to stop the pain. The pain that is caused by the self. There is nothing else. Only the self. If you died right now, how would you feel? How would you feel, if you died right now?
