fancy maneuvers
Ego-mind tends to hijack any spontaneous inner experience. That's its nature. But in fact it's our dreaming self being held hostage. A sudden taste of awakening can appear and disappear as an unrecogn…

what\'s the story?
Ego-mind endures a lot but isn't equipped to withstand its own dismantling. For it's only fueled by imagination and when that runs out the story's over. Like any story it has a beginning and an end…
