"it`s like the mirror reflecting the mirror: you see an infinite number of images,

but theres really only one - and its not in any mirror! thats what we`ve been

doing with our minds. we don`t really know the true state of being because

we`ve been reflecting upon reflections that are reflections of other reflections."

"he found in the world without as actual what was in his world within as possible"

"i saw people coming towards me but all were the same man. all were myself."

"iranian muslims tell the story of iskandr (alexander the great) and the kaf. the kaf is a mountain that encircles the earth, which is conceived of as a plane. it is a mountain so high that a space equal only to the heigh of a man remains between its peaks and heaven. it is made of emerald, and the green of the land and blue of the sky are its reflections. there is another world on the far side of the kaf : some say it is the home of the demons and fairies, but others that there lives the race of yajuj and majuj, who would have broken through to this side long ago if iskandr had not built walls against them.

when iskandr had conquered the world, he went to see the kaf. he sent a slave up the mountain who, when he got to the top, saw another slave just like himself coming up the other side. so iskandr sent a second slave, and a third, and a fourth, and everytime another slave exactly like him came up from the other side. finally iskandr himself ascended the kaf and looked over and, behold, another iskandr looked back. iskandr, who thought he was master of all, now knew that there were other worlds and other conquerors, and died of disappointment."$?
