The Beyond All That

When I say Buddha,
I say that which sees beyond,
the ineffable source of consciousness
and when we speak of the awakened,
we aim at the very nature of awakening, the fineness of the Spirit,
The possible fixations along the way are stations, narrative detours, condensations of symbolic powers,

The beyond is also the beyond of all that
Remembering that we always aim at this beyond, (of the beyond) and that if we use the terms and conceptual tools, it is only as a compass pointing north.

Just as the moon is not the finger, the compass is not the destination,
And the destination itself is not the destination.
It is still only a linguistic tool suggesting a certain density of what it refers to.

It is also beyond this framework of spatio-temporal representation that imposes the tools of direction and destination that we must go.

Should we go there?
To affirm that we must « go » beyond the « direction destination » framework is precisely to still inscribe ourselves in the framework that we affirm must transcend;

Silent sitting is a truly universal answer
A vehicle of the soul, a horse that knows the way
