We both trip over language when asked to stand on ground that isn’t there. Jhāna will dissolve the question through absorption. Jñāna may sever it directly. Either seems more promising than asking words to do what they structurally cannot.

I’m just appreciating the windy roar of nothing or the “open dimension of our being” as one variant has it, on the one hand, and the resonance of all those ‘narrative self’ images like liony/leónito-mijito and prættig and Dasoda-Hae on the other, y’know?

“I am not, I will not be.
I have not, I will not have,”
That frightens all the childish
And extinguishes fear in the wise.

“The I exists, the mine exists.”
These are wrong as ultimates,
For the two are not [established]
By a thorough consciousness of reality just as it is.
