Maybe there is no getting to the bottom of eternal life/eternity? There is no getting to the bottom - there is no bottom.

No top...no bottom...no inside....no outside.
Just happening......with no anything.

What if "Ah" or "Ah Ah" is the Alpha an "Ou" or "Ou Ou" the Omega before our brain over compensated on language instead of memory?

Yours sounds less literal, more poetic.
I've read dozens of translations in hope of approaching its essence without reading ancient Chinese.

“He who desireless is found
The spiritual of the world will sound.
But he who by desire is bound
Sees the mere shell of things around.”

This version is nice and direct...

Words and names are not the way
They can't define the absolute
It's better that you look within
Hold your tongue and just be mute
Look within and look out too
You will not find a separation
Out there you see appearance
Within you see origination
Look within with wonder
At emptiness and bliss
For wonder names totality
Where nothing is amiss
The space within is always there
If you can moderate desire
A place of utter emptiness
And possibility entire

Have you heard of the 'headless way'?

This interview will point you in the right direction......to actually experience the 'essence'.


Richard Lang was a student of Douglas Harding who first introduced the Headless Way.
