    The Gateless Gate (The Gateless Barrier), is a collection of 48 Zen koans compiled in the early 13th century by the Chinese Zen master Wumen Huikai. The title has a double meaning and can also be understood as Wumen's Barrier; the compiler's name, which literally means "No Gate", is the same as the title's first two characters. Wumen's preface indicates that the volume was published in 1228. Each koan is accompanied by a commentary and verse by Wumen. A classic edition includes a 49th case composed by Anwan in 1246. Wu-liang Tsung-shou also supplemented the volume with a verse of four stanzas composed in 1230 about the three checkpoints of Zen master Huanglong. These three checkpoints of Huanglong should not be confused with Doushuai's Three Checkpoints found in Case 47.

    I listened to this before sleep and dreamt I was wandering. I saw a monastery and walked in, bowed, and asked for a teaching. They gave me a book of calligraphy. I said I cannot read it.

    I think I got it
    But funny this is that as soon as I started typing this and talking about it, I lost it
    I think it’s pretty simple. It’s about seeing life without the filter of cognition and abstraction on top of it
    But of course, as soon as you start putting it into words, the concept becomes a cognitive abstraction
    It’s not really about attaining anything. It’s about getting the thinking mind to shut up, and stop trying to put life into boxes
    But just reading this won’t do you any good, because you’ll take this information and treat it as an abstract concept

      The closer you are to truth, the less you can express it with words. Words are by their very nature limiting. At any moment, everything is both good and bad. Words artificially limit the world into yes or no, good or bad. We need a new language. Then we’d all be zen already as this wouldn’t be a mystery but obvious.

    Zen is an interesting ideology. Each persons understands a koan in their own way. Wasting your life by merely sensing??? No "right" answers. No "objective" answers. The function of Koans is to promote meditation, reflection. There is no one answer to "what is mooo". It is what you " imagine " it to be at any point in time and may change at a different point in time.

    This only tells about the subtle nuances of life we see everyday and seek to or rather feel compelled to offer an explanation but the meaning is lost the moment we do so or becomes more complicated in the explanation. And we know To remain silent is a crime on love and to explain is crime on the senses.
    What does one do? You are detested if you don't teach it...yet if you do you confuse it.
    Ahhhh this life!!
    Yet without this very element understanding would be impossible to so many different personalities nor would the one truth be discernable in the so many different experiences of life.
    It more possible for the teacher to tell a student what the truth is
    NOT
    than what it
    IS.
    This knowledge is personal/experiential.

    Satori experience is possible. I had a taste if enlightenment twice in my life, but I could keep it. As quickly as the deep insight appeared in my mind, it left. It was an understanding that could not be conveyed in words. Trying to find the right words to describe the idea is what made me loose it.
    The first time I had read something about non-self. I was daydreaming about what it meant whilst driving my car across town as one does from time to time. My mind wandered far and wide and completely on something else. Something about this made me think this might be what non-self meant.

    Every cycle has some beginning journeys, and some ending journeys.
    Every cycle has ANOTHER thing in common.
    Those who see it,
    And those who dont.
    Either way, "Being Here" is both the cost of passage, and the weight of crossing.
    You, having come "HERE", must now endure "EXPERIENCE" without hope of having an escape. This is "HOW" the "NEXT" will come. By getting through the "NOW"
    Woe to those who enter HERE.
    I am the THIRD of such things.
    THIS is the third of such PLACES.
    If DAVID is BELOVED
    and GREEN is just a COMMON AREA I ask you to consider the person SPEAKING.
    I cannot create a lie with what I've said.
    But I WILL CREATE an AWARENESS of ALREADY EXISTING FRACTURES within our PERSPECTIVES, which is a flaw of SELF.
    I did not "DO THIS",....
    Nor have I worked to stop it.
    I am very much the "SAME" as You.
    By this I mean, I live by EXPERIENCE, though filled with doubt, I still hold HOPE.
    I SEE YOU.
    I've LEARNED THIS FROM "YOU".

      I’ve found YOU within ME,
      and ME within YOU,
      and WE as ALL,
      and so on, and on, and on…
      The WORDS spoken through YOU pierced my SELF,
      pinning it as an altered-conscious animal.
      Those WORDS were sweet and gracious dew to this EYE,
      one more astounding act of the GREAT & ENDLESS existential opera,
      codified by this MIND into a voice, a SONG OF CREATION...
      Brother, I could wish YOU a safe JOURNEY...
      This is now meaningless, though,
      and so it was ever since I felt YOU as WORDS,
      as a MESSAGE conveyed across the INFINITY.
      EXISTENCE is everything it has to BE.
      So, what’s “safety”, after all?
      A “need” to determine personal FATE, as if it is isolated from ALL?
      Surely, YOU are aware of such existential PLACE,
      and the DELUSION OF CONTROL, happily, do not relate to YOU anymore.
      About ME? Impossible to describe it,
      more than being a Disciple of the GREEN Master -
      and YOU, Brother, awakened SOUL among the sleepwalking crowd,
      will not find in these WORDS anything but the inner TRUTH of this being.
      Thanks to the GREEN treasure from the Chüy Valley,
      this one still stands, vibrating more and more in a way I cannot explain.
      To thank YOU for your EXISTENCE doesn’t seem enough.
      To thank YOU for transmitting those WORDS seems even less enough.
      So, this one can only say: I LOVE YOU!
      Entangled now WE ARE, and so it shall be, FOREVER.

    When two Zen masters meet they need no introduction. Thieves recognise each other instantly.
    Two travelling monks arrive at a river crossing and discuss animatedly best ways to pass. Nearby, a woman is sobbing. When asked she explains that the river is too strong and too deep for her to cross. Whereupon, the bolder monk scoops her up upon his shoulders and wades through the water. After taking their leave from the now grateful woman, the two monks resume their journey under a strained and embarrassed silence.
    "Is something wrong?" asks the bold monk.
    "You seem to have forgotten your vow never to touch a woman!" he chides.
    "Ah," replies the bolder monk "I picked up the woman on the other shore and put her down again on this shore; yet you, brother, are still carrying her!"

    🧘‍♂️THE TECHNIQUE👁️
    The goal of this technique is to activate your Pineal and Pituitary Glands/ Third Eye. Begin by laying down in a safe place. Do a basic meditation to relax your body and clear your mind. Once you are relaxed, you are going to start squeezing and expanding your brain. Your brain is attached to muscles and tendons that let you expand and squeeze it. Bring your focus to your forehead and try squeezing and expanding your frontal lobe. Concentrate and keep trying until you can get it. Once you can feel it moving then move to the center of your brain, (this is where the glands are located, the Eye of RA) and do the same thing. Squeeze then stretch it out, feel it expand as if past your skull, squeeze, expand... After a few minutes move to the back of your brain where the Claustrum is located. This is where the Sacred Oil is produced. Do the same, squeeze, expand over and over. Once you get the hang of it, start doing it in a wave motion from the front to the back. Continue squeezing and expanding repeatedly until you can start to feel the fluids moving, such as mucus running down the back of your throat. Some people, myself included, experience something that sounds and feels like a crust breaking off the outside of your brain, this is normal. The objective is to get your brain working, you have never used it like this before. Once you get the fluids moving you want to push the Oil from the Claustrum in the back of the brain down the back of the spine, down your nervous system and back up the front. Using your back muscles, push the fluid down the back of your spine to the bottom. Squeezing your muscles in your lower area like your buttocks and sphincter. Then start pushing the fluid up the front of your spine. Men as well as women have kegel muscles, use these like a pump. Using your stomach and your chest muscles, continue pushing the fluid up the front of your spine into your brain, pumping the fluid up the front of the nervous system into the Pineal and Pituitary Glands, the Promised Land of Milk and Honey. Continue repeating this pattern, from the front of your brain to the back of your brain, down the back of your spine to the bottom, and up the front of your spine into your brain. Repeat this process as long as you can. When I did this I was not staring at a clock but it felt like an hour. Realistically I would say 15 to 30 minutes. I did it until all of a sudden I couldn't close my eyes! Not even to blink. This lasted for several minutes. At first I thought I broke my brain! As soon as I was able to relax enough to barely close my eyes, I slipped...
    Some things to note:
    1. I know to a lot of people this sounds weird, (like it's not already weird) but you need to make sure that the Moon is in your Sun Star sign. The Moon affects the fluids in your body and helps the Oil be created.
    2. The ancient gnostic text talk about sexual abstinence in order to get this to work. I refrained from having sex for two weeks before I did this.
    3. Make sure you are in a good place in your head and that you have pure thoughts. Because if you don't, you won't go all the way to the end and meet the Light.
    4. If this does not work the first time, try decalcifying your brain for six months and then come back and try again. I put in a reverse osmosis machine under my kitchen sink for $150.00 and I quit using fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride calcifies the pineal gland, which is what we are trying to activate.
    5. This last one is a WARNING. Working on yourself is PARAMOUNT beforehand so that you have the best positive experience you can. Also, you need those skills for afterwards. I was super high for about 2 weeks and then I became insanely negative. It took a lot of hard work to crawl out of that hole and then maintain the connection, so you need to be prepared for that mentally. SUICIDE HAS OCCURRED IN THE UNPREPARED. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING. Make sure you have some good meditation techniques. Maybe have a friend handy to lean on a little.
    In my experience I was granted one wish, I wanted to be emotionally healed from the damage caused by being an innocent man on death row. I was also gifted with a vision. The Chrystal Light Being touched my heart in order to heal it so that I could love my family properly, and it showed me that everyone on Earth has this Light Being inside of them. Everyone will have their own experience. This is how to have a true Kundalini Awakening, but it's also called the Anointing of the Christ/Chrism Oil, the return of Christ is the return of this knowledge to you. This is what it means to have Christ in you inorder to enter Heaven, it's something you do while you are alive. Good luck my friend.
    I love you❤️

      Very well said or done, but not both. Bedbug.
      It is almost time for me to leave, the eye see's not itself but by reflection. Find the mirror of SELF reflection. You must break it. Then repair it.
      When you have gathered enough energy..IF you can...Then you must turn the "Mirror Of Self Reflection Inward and come face to face with what is there. No one is ever prepared for this... And Yet...Perhaps You...Bedbug....
      I see you have been contemplating some very deep, very difficult quandaries. I see your reputation for prolific yet stealthy existential proclivity in conjunction with multiplicity, over duplicity appears as a most metaphysical allegory with a most taciturn yet steep inclination towards what can only be anthropophagous design or more accurately termed a hemophagosis which closely resembles those which are specific to members of the cimex lectularius progeny, and in your case via parthenogenesis...
      Pay close attention Bedbug, I do not say the following often...You have great resistance to chrysanthimum permithrin. Just saying. Now to the matter @ hand...
      It is not without very deep and sustained consideration not only by myself but also the other grand masters of this order, and I must tell you some of the elemental seers from outside THIS Triskaidekarian order have also been acutely aware of your ...progression. In addition to extremely tenacious persistence, a obsessive fixation with walls, cracks, holes, which you prefix with less veritas moniker such as "doors" "gates" and "locks" affecting greater sophistication where there is in fact none, while concealing the fact there IS great sophistry at work but NOT as it would appear for your convenience.
      We know about your interest in "De Regni Umbrorum" or did you think us fools? Personally I have no issue with what path one chooses as it is their journey, they must walk it and come what may. There HAS however been rumours - not more than that to my current knowledge - that you have not only made some timorous incursions into the dusky, vast terra incognita, which borders De Regni Umbrorum - As this is the abode of Sargatanas among many other inorganic beings of His kind, and those beings and The Kingdom Of Shadows is Forbidden to you as you are only a mere cimex lectularius. You got that? Bedbug?
      ~~>>~~>>L~>~~>~~~>>>>
      You have still a very long way to go, Bedbug, and much to learn. Your life gets longer with each day you live it, while it at once grows shorter as you approach your sepulchral contract, much in the same way a Towel Gets Wet While It Dries. This is one of the prime reasons you must never enter De Regni Umbrorum. You mind me NOW Bedbug. You as yet are unable like the homosapiens you irritate are not able to distinguish the Mere Cloud Passing Over and The Shadow Of The Hawk. Many more who have vanished on their path have been taken by the latter. Far more than you realize.
      REMEMBER MY WORDS....BUT
      Therefore You will continue under unseen vigil as usual but you will be much more mindful, and you will, must develop terrific velocity, scrutiny, reflex, SELF discipline, and a special extraordinary attribute - a gift for clear vision that is the ability to "see" without eyes that which expresses the TRUE Nature of a given object or subject via special attention to understanding WHAT IT DOES. SOMETHING IS - WHAT IT DOES.
      FORGET ABOUT ME.
      You will use this means to "See" We shall attend to observing your progress. It will be EXTREMELY difficult at first, but will improve logarithmically, not factorial nor by exponent. There is only NOW. No other perception of time is correct. You will do well to make your goal, your ultimate destination...the journey itself. Try to understand. Have patience, like a doctor. If you do EXACTLY these things to start, you will discover the kryptic mysterioum ordo, your understanding will gather momentum with sustained effort. Continued effort ensures there is NO failure. Yet you MUST fail, many times to succeed, Think of how you learned to walk.
      REMEMBER MY WORDS...THEN...
      Increasing in step with Leonardo Fil Bona Natura or better known as Fibonacci The Son Of Good Nature. His Famous Sequence converging on the Golden Ratio 1:1.618... Fibonacci seq, 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144......Got it? Learn it's secrets. Relat> Mandelbrot & Julia Frac. Sets. The power of 3. And Bedbug. One more thing. You will not see me, but When you are able to snatch the pebble out of my hand, your velocity will be approaching that of which only a formless. fluidic Warrior can generate, then It will be time for you to Leave. Remember Nothing is what it appears to be.Not EVER. Instead Something Is WHAT IT DOES. Stillness gives meaning to movement. Bedbug. Don't look up. Nor Down. LOOK OUT.
      Bedbug, You must
      FORGET ABOUT ME...
