SELF DECEPTION
To see your face: look straight into a mirror.
To see the back of your head: use two mirrors.
To see behind your face: look straight into Tao.Myths that mirror reality have staying power.
Wishful thinking is soon blown away.
Dreams are sleeping partners.
Amidst thick darkness, a tiny light gives direction.
Amongst much delusion, the slightest truth becomes obvious.
The sage is but a glimmer on the Way.
Look straight, not crooked.
Give Tao both eyes!
The act of imagination is a great, albeit two-faced, human
faculty, opening the door to deceit of the self and of each
other.
So many 'isms' are founded not upon real or 'natural' human
behaviour, but on a manufactured belief of how things 'should'
be.
Beware the many 'wokescreens' that blind the eyes,
disorientate the mind, and hide the path toward true
enlightenment.
