The quickest way to no mind, I have found.

I heard Alan Watts say in a lecture: "The world is a Rorschach Test." Once I grasped the gravity of this, I can't seem to get over it.

I am interested in your opinions on this idea.

How does that relate to your title ?? I think that framing existence as a Rorschach Test could mean a lot of different things. What do you think it means?

I think from my interpretation, it's not that the world "means" anything, it's that we label it. Do you see a moth or a butterfly or a face or what do you see? And for me, whatever I say "I see a moth" is a label. It's a projection onto Reality. For me, it's about recognizing that Reality is Reality, and that whatever we say, is essentially a projection.

And then instead of inkblots, just look out the window.
