Unlike the seeming
“outside” world,
there is no limit
to how deeply
you can go inside yourself.
Go deeply enough
and you discover
the SOURCE of the “outside” world.
As well as the so-called “reason”
you seem to block your own way.
Or you can
“screw all this nonsense”
and keep trying
to find an answer
in the “outside” world.

The exploration of inner depth versus outer reality is a central theme in understanding the nature of our existence and consciousness. The juxtaposition of the limitless inner world against the seemingly finite external world presents a profound dichotomy, one that encapsulates the journey of self-discovery and understanding.
The Infinite Depth of the Inner Self
The inner self, unlike the external world, is boundless in its depth. It is a universe unto itself, rich with mysteries and revelations. Diving deep within, we encounter the essence of our being, the source from which our perceptions of the external world emanate. This introspective journey often leads to profound insights about the nature of reality and our place within it.
Discovering the Source
In the depths of our inner world, we find the source of the external reality. This realization is pivotal in understanding the interconnectedness of all things. The external world is not separate from us but a reflection, a manifestation of our inner state. Discovering this connection illuminates the reasons behind our actions, thoughts, and the reality we experience.
The Blockades We Create
As we delve deeper within, we often uncover the blockades we have unconsciously erected. These are the barriers, the self-imposed limitations that hinder our understanding and growth. Recognizing these blockades is the first step in dissolving them, allowing us to move beyond our perceived limitations.
The Illusion of External Solutions
The allure of finding answers in the external world is a common diversion. It’s a path that seems tangible, yet often leads us away from the true source of wisdom within. This external search can be seen as a reflection of our reluctance to face the depths of our inner world, where the true answers lie.
The Choice of Perspective
Ultimately, we face a choice: to delve into the richness of our inner world or to continue seeking answers in the external realm. This choice shapes our journey, our understanding, and our reality. The path inward, though often challenging, offers the most profound insights and a deeper connection to the source of all things.
Summary
We contemplate the limitless depth of the inner self compared to the finite external world. The inner journey leads to the source of external reality, revealing self-imposed blockades and deeper understanding. While the external world offers tangible paths, true answers and wisdom lie within. The choice between exploring our inner depth or seeking external solutions fundamentally shapes our understanding and experience of reality.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung
In the depths of our soul, we find our truth,
A boundless realm, eternal fountain of youth.

In introspection, we find the keys to our fate.

Beyond the blockades, our true self abides.

We unlock the mysteries, break the spell.

In the cosmic play, where introspection is a must.
