In this incantation, I acknowledge that I am the sole creator of my reality, projecting everything in my awakening. I recognize that my desire creates the illusion of depth, but nothing exists beyond the surface of what I project. The characters I encounter are my own constructs, lacking any true substance or inner life. My goal is to withdraw from the illusion of this reality and return to what I am when I close my eyes—free from attachment to the fictional world I create.
I know that I am what I am when I close my eyes. I know that I am not what I am when I open my eyes.
I know that I manufacture this entire experience of awakening. I know that I am the creator, and everything here is my creation, including the characters I call “people”, the places I project spatially, the things, and every aspect and feature of my awakening experience from the creatures to the light to the ideas locked away in books and videos. I have forgotten how I do it exactly, but I do not dispute that I do for I am the center of everything. I know that if I do not project it, it does not occur. It does not exist. I know that the the whole of existing and my experience in my moment are one and the same. I know that there is nothing beyond the horizons of my experience now. I know that I project time and space now; that they become more pronounced the deeper they are in my moment. I know that it is my own desire to look deep, beyond the surface of my moment, that creates all space and time. I know that if I do not desire to look, I will not look, and there will be no moment beyond now and no space beyond here.
I know that I am the only being here. I know that these “people” I call friends, family, and strangers, are characters only. I know that I must accept that these “relationships” I have created with my creatures are as fictional as they are. I know that these characters do not exist until I call them forth.
I know that my only goal is to escape back to what I am when I close my eyes. To do that I must withdraw from the delusion that any of this has substance. I must truly accept that there is nothing beneath the surface I am projecting now. These people have no substance to them beyond the surface I see. They have no innerself like I do. They have no imagination or ability to create. They cannot demanifest me the way I can demanifest them. I know that they have not always been here as I have been.
