The veil of beliefs is so thick that it is already very rare to be able to perceive the presence of a veil.
We mistake this thick veil for reality.
How difficult it is to connect with reality when we can’t even perceive the very existence of what keeps us at a distance…
Generally, what we can’t see is difficult to disintegrate.
In the case of the veil of belief, it’s the dense texture and our proximity that keeps us at a distance.
We don’t perceive the nature of these beliefs; we mistake them for something real.
We don’t perceive the belief nature of beliefs.
Our entire experience, inner and outer, is based on an artificial density. We lean on thin air, thinking we’re supported by solid material. The courage of experience, emptiness, is also here understanding that there is no density through which we cannot pass, that what we have aggregated to constitute « our world » has no existence.
Liberation is on the other side of the walls of beliefs.
The walls of beliefs are social, psychological, familial, professional, friendly, religious, spiritual, physical.
No one but ourselves has strengthened the walls.
No one but ourselves has woven such veils.
We were the architects of our penal institution.
