1117: We're Trapped in a Cocoon of Our Own Karma

"Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside wakes." – Carl Jung / What am I, beyond the external ego presentation? / we've got layers to shed before we get to our authentic self / our relationship with our body is dream-like / our choices determine our next body / this is not religious dogma – it's an invitation to think about life in a different way / the proposition that maybe "there really is no such thing as Consciousness" is completely absurd (because consciousness is required even to ask the question) / attachments cloud truth perception
