“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

The Heart Sutra Mantra, Ecosexually Translated

GET DOWN GET DOWN GET RIGHT DOWN WITH IT SO FAR INTO IT BINGO

I prefer this to Philip Whalen's beat one (sorry!)

GONE GONE REALLY GONE INTO THE COOL OH MAMA

The actual mantra is

OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA

The thing is, what are we going beyond? (“Gate” means “gone.”)

We are going beyond concepts.

We are not going beyond trees. Or hands. Or breath.
