1000 Feet Koan


He clutched the tree
branch with his teeth.
If he opened his mouth
he'd fall 1000 feet. If
he didn't open it he'd
fail the exam.

Branch, man and tree all appear only when you are conscious. When you are unconscious they dissappear. Thus they are not permanent. They are just words, not real.

"This sentence is not true." True and false don't apply.

See thru the words, the manifestations appear, and dissappear.

You are the eternal.
