You depend on something from outside. The mind lacks the scope to properly frame the kind of metaphysical question it claims to want to solve. A certain co-presence of facts forms the premise to such a question, but this only comes about and cannot be willed; the mind cannot store the question's address only its own memory of having addressed it. Where it has the most to say is where it is most deficient. You cannot treat this as if it were a subject matter, something you could delineate and return to, and delineate again. Whatever is seen, once seen, melts away into the surrounding mists. Anything you can do is not worth doing, but you must not cease from doing lest the readiness be lost. There was, there is, a question, but mostly what you take to be the question is the scene of the question, or the scene of the scene of the question. Taking the mind to exist you are lost in the mind.
