shigo no shikumi

Do you know why
the River of the Dead exists
after we die?
It is to return water
to the Earth.

Do you understand why
we see a light
after we die?
It is to return *that*
to the Sun.

A concept that cannot stand on its own
chases the light;
but
if it becomes Omega,
it shines of its own accord.

That which shines of its own accord
becomes a sun.

The sun illuminates various concepts;
the sun illuminates various concepts.

That is
how the world after death
works.

Those who drag their earthly reality
with them after death
continue to carry that reality.

That reality
is the same as the world of dreams.

If you bring reality
into a dream,
the dream becomes restricted.

But,
if you are not bound
by reality,
the dream
takes flight.

The reality within the dream world
eventually fades away.

For a sense of reality
in a world without reality
has no meaning.

For a sense of reality
in a world without reality
has no meaning.

The same applies to lingering resentment
after death.

As long as you hold onto that resentment,
you remain trapped by it.

As long as you hold onto that resentment,
you remain trapped by it.

That concept
will be shunned by all.

That is how the afterlife works;
that is how the afterlife works.
