The Wheel of Life


We are all one, what we seen in other is ourselves.
The wheel of life, is ourselves.
Learning to love ourselves, is the key to love others ; because there's no others, there's just ourselves.

Start to see your surrounding as a gigantic flow of energy, a infinite soup of molecules and we are floating in it, we are part of it - the brain is acting as an interface trying to find limits and draw frontier, to separate zones. But when the brain can let go, because I'm out of body, dreaming or experiencing alternate state of consciousness - the dictature of the brain is no longer active.
The Wheel of Life - Aesthetics of Suffering and Salvation: The Buddhist Wheel of Life symbolically represents how all sentient beings, who have not practiced the Dharma and liberated themselves, are bound in a cycle of existences whose very nature is suffering. The symbolism is depicted through a series of pictograms that are meant to act as a powerful mnemonic device for both the serious practitioner and the layman. The Old Masters prescribe that one should think about this diagram and focus on it day and night so as to never forget its meaning. According to Shri Dharmakirti "One should intently and seriously contemplate the meaning of this wheel. If possible, one should put up a pictorial representation of it, if necessary in solitary retreat, until its significance sinks in. Once this happens, the wish to be free of this mindless suffering is spontaneous and constant. An apt comparison would be with a sick man, who while suffering from a chronic painful ailment, discovers after a thorough medical examination that the reason for his illness is some regular component of his diet. Such a person would immediately try to remedy the defect."
