Dwellers of the Twilight Void Explained


In Tibetan Buddhism as well as many other holistic philosophies
different types of light have been observed…

1. earth to water                   :  mirage
2. water to fire                    :  smokiness
3. fire to wind                     :  fireflies in the sky
4. wind to consciousness            :  clear candle flame
5. gross consciousness to luminance :  clear moonlit sky
6. luminance to radiance            :  clear sunlit sky
7. radiance to imminence            :  clear pitch darkness
8. imminence to translucency        :  clear light of clear pre-dawn sky

When Alex and I were watching an old horror movie and saw a
grave stone that read:
"Here Lies a Dweller of the Twilight Void."

We laughed and Alex said, "huh, The Dwellers of the Twilight Void."
And instantly spontaneously and with full knowledge of this philosphy
I exclaimed,  "hell yeah!  that's it!!!"

I didn't bother to explain to him that the clear pre-dawn twilight
is the ideal of emptiness and void of consciousness that one needs
to transcend all and become a buddha.  You know it also makes you
Cutting edge, because you are always ready to change artistically
based on what feels like the freest, most un-defined thing.

Earth is genital feelings (good, bad, indifferent)
Water is belly feelings (science, definition)
Fire is volition feelings (art, emotions)
Wind is feeling feeling (heart, feelings themselves, consideration of feelings)
Consciousness is thought feeling (brain, awareness, observation)
Luminance is beginning of seeing thought electricity (early dai kensho experience)
Radiance is full sight of enlightenment electricity (intense dai kensho experiences)
Imminence is the apparent observable plane of this activity  (emptiness)
Translucency is the indestructible aether plane of all existence (neither empty, nor non-empty, nor empty or non-empty)

The hour is darkest right before the dawn.

The guys in this band all have the ability to think and create on the fly void of any preconceptions or lasting ideologies.  Strangeness and creativity at all costs is the ideal.  The consciousness of whether or not you have felt or heard this before.
