TOTALITY

from the fires of Heraclitus,

to the, 'fire that does not burn fire' of Nishitani,

where is our totality?

where the line that delimits the inside from the outside?

the line enters from nothing, nowhere,

the line [is] simultaneously non-line,

how could it be otherwise?

this is important because two becomes one,

and one is simultaneoulsy zero,

zero,

nothing,

[where] everything gushes forth...

this is field

this place is just one

on the field of nothingness

all things are possible,

this makes possible

at the speed of light

possibility

apprehension

actualization

realization

when a disciple apprehends, actualizes,

he/she, mirror-mind, koto,

master, king of nothing, disciple of mirror-mind

we change places

reflection, mirror, illusion

at the speed of light

while your eyes burn,

the fire of creation

is just one.
