A poet wrote, « life
on the doorstep of the Absolute… »

We are the only barrier keeping us away from what is, from ourselves.
The Gateless Barrier is not somewhere else.

The absolute as a projection of our linear "goal"-thinking in time?
The most sophisicated confirmation of ourself? in a spiritual way…
"The unbareble lightness of being"…
