Experience Is A Tunnel

"Where are we going?"
"We came out here..."
"As if each experience in life
was a tunnel..."

"Yeah..."
"...and we'll see where
that tunnel will end up."

"We'll see where it will lead..."
"It's strange.
What you see later in the video

is very different from what
you think you saw."

"Yes?"
"It's as if you have
more attention now,

and you can see it
several times and so on."
 Each experience in life is a tunnel
and we can only vaguely imagine
where the tunnel may lead
or where it will end up.
"Then that's why
they make the Hindu gods

with many arms.
You can see the possibilities separating,
you can see many possibilities at once."
I pondered this mystery of all mysteries
and I put this suggestion to the Void.
A real devotee would never
express such doubt.
"Where are we going?" "We came out here..."
"Here we came out."
I walk now in a path that is free from religious merit.
Blind conviction is the reason for my forgetfulness.
I could say that I live in a time of great repression,
of ultra-conservative nationalism
but I don't meditate or worship
due to the power of my own perverted intelligence.
"Where are we going?" "As if each experience in life was a tunnel..."
"Yeah..."
"...and who knows where that tunnel will end up." "Who knows where it will lead..."
I may be compared to immeasurable space
but I am an ordinary human being.
I merely live in the temple of absolute emptiness.
I have no ideal nor do I strive
after the attainment of an ideal.
"This is the house that he came to
when he ran away from his home."
"He escaped? He left because he was mad?"
"No, he left because he was joining the guerrillas."
I committed the sin
of criticizing The Void

by insulting him several times.
I could say I have
a well-known hatred of authority.
"This is where the police grabbed you."
"This is where they came
to do the midnight search."
"The guards came in the middle of the night
and took us away."
"We came out here..." "Here we came out."
When he refused
to take me along with him to the forest,

I cast off the worn-out garments
of purity, righteousness,

and all ideals.
And I walked away.
"It's a chimera."
"How so?"
"It's a superposition
of a lot of different things."
"As if each experience in life was a tunnel..."
"Yeah..."
"...and who knows where that tunnel will end up."
"Who knows where it will lead..."
"'You haven't learned to sell yourself!'
he would say to me."
"Why would I want to sell myself?!?"
"Where are we going?" "As if each experience in life was a tunnel..."
"Yeah..."
I now suffer from universal adaptability.
My previous birth made
an indirect contribution to this condition.

But direct contribution is only from the actions
I have done in this lifetime.
"...and we'll see where that tunnel will end up." "We'll see where it will lead..."
"This moment is becoming eternal." "All of us and them,
we're becoming immortal."
"We came out here..." "Here we came out."
I am eternity.
I always have been.
I always will be.
It is hard to describe.
It always has been.
"As if each experience in life was a tunnel..."
"Yeah..."
"...and we'll see where that tunnel will end up."
"We'll see where it will lead..."
