“The human phenomenon is but the sum
Of densely coiled layers of illusion
Each of which winds itself on the supreme insanity
That there are persons of any kind
When all there can be is mindless mirrors
Laughing and screaming as they parade about
in an endless dream

It's a process which restores the energy level in nature that has gone down. In reality, nothing is born and nothing is dead.”
