All of these events, all of this energy and form... even open space itself has a 'thingness' to it.
All prior possibilities and all decisions made have culminated into this very moment.
Who are you, really? Can this be defined, or accurately quantified? What are you?
With every circumstance leading up to and influencing 'you', have you ever made a single decision?
The world of form, the myriad things; how can this body be yours, independent and free?
How can these thoughts even be yours if you can't reason beyond the myriad things?
Is there such a thing as chaos, or is that a convenient term for momentum that we don't understand?
We can think of time as something in motion, coming, here, passing, gone...
At the very limits of what I claim is my own understanding, Zen speaks of 'spontaneity'.
How can we be spontaneous if not a single independent decision can be made?
If there is to be a Dharma, which there isn't, then there can be no dissonance from it.
How can there be anywhere beyond delusion, or outside of enlightenment?
At the end of the day, I can't even tell you to leap clear because there is nowhere to go.
