gala production of the theater of death and the lie of buddhism
bodies grind against bodies, nothing is produced. what could come of slaughter and yidam. what could possibly come of this. no one wants it to come of this. no one wants it to come to this, it's flesh that's ground, there's nothing more, tendrils of fat, skeins of muscle, legarms flailing. it's nothing, not even an image. the image floats, there's only existence, whatever is: no matter whether illusion or obdurate, inert: it's always present. eyes grind against eyes, such that image turns ash. ears grind against ears, crackling: no sound. buddhism's a lie, existence is always relative, already path to relative path, to relative thing after thing. existence never promised anything more: what more than thing after thing after thing. it goes there and always goes there. believe what you want, ontology's meaningless outside of realms: it's not non-existence, but ontology sliding into the imaginary. what then? this sliding, for humans, appears uncanny, as if worlds tremble; they don't, they don't do anything. get rid of existence: you're gone. and gone from existence, ground from it. existence grinds against existence, we're concerned about this. but that confuses the thing with is: grinds nothing, against nothing, no loss but what we've made of it: thing and sound or sight of grinding. these images show that, non-mandalas, no premise of a virtual beyond the real, or beneath it, no promise of escape, error, elsewhere, elsewhere. remember it's never as close as an eye or ear, never within hearing or seeing. senseless, sensed, it's what there is, the lie of buddhism is, that it isn't. http://www.alansondheim.org/her0.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her3.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her4.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her5.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her6.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her7.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/her8.jpg _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
