18 | Layers to Enlightenment

Posted by michael | Personal Development | Friday 7 August 2009

SHREK: No! Layers! Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.
The obstacles that separate us from enlightenment also form layers of various energetic composition – and have to be dealt with individually with specialized methods – there is no panacea!

matrix

Many researchers of the human mind have already tried to explain some aspects of the workings of the mind and ego by analogy of a computer.
