明鏡亦非臺

Through non-existing mirrors

菩提本無樹，明鏡亦非臺。

本來無一物，何處惹塵埃。

— 惠能偈

Louis Delsarte, Cosmic Engineers (1970, Clifford D. Simak)

Just as the original remains — even after the destruction of the reflection — we need to know, just remember, that we too do remain — even as the layers of our body from LIFE (Layered Intelligence-Forming Energy) into which we are reflected meet with death. This knowledge enables us to unfold our original state of be-ness. That we do not die is real when we stop seeing through the mind and start seeing by the self. One has to ponder on this, to ponder on this again and again. As one is able to break through this puzzle, one breaks the myth that one has built around oneself.
