<p dir="auto">"I saw the Buddha as the divine Self, whose nature can only be seen through the image projected through the lens and onto the TV."</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It had me tripping over my shoelaces as the Buddha wasnt very big on the divine,( he came to the personal conclusion that it is unimportant to enlightenment) The void is the ultimate.<br />
I felt the picture was attempting to illustrate the impersonal.</p>

<p dir="auto">That was really what I intended. Probably would have been helpful to include that from the beginning, but that part came to me afterward as I was trying to figure out how to explain the inspiration. lol...</p>
<p dir="auto">So,</p>
<p dir="auto">Tiphareth icon = the Buddha.<br />
Binah icon = camera and TV projection<br />
Zayin = the Reflections given:</p>
<p dir="auto">"My joy is to see your joy!"<br />
"I am unique &amp; conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they damned &amp; dead! Amen."<br />
"As brothers fight ye!"</p>
<p dir="auto">These, sandwiched between these two bookend quotations from two different relgions:</p>
<p dir="auto">"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."<br />
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."</p>
<p dir="auto">Alas, now it is merely a dead horse, thoroughly beaten... lol... oh well.</p>

I don't seem to have communicated what I intended.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was thinking much less of the Buddha and much more of Binah as mirror.</p>
<p dir="auto">I saw the Buddha as just a sort of general visible stand-in for Divinity. Hence, the variety of quotes in the Reflection.</p>
