aaaand you are there to simply ask "how do I look?"
pretty sure that's what many people (fewer here I hope?) are doing for their entire life.

.... depends upon fulcrum of our consciousness ...

Exactly! I actually 'got' the sound of one hand clapping..but in my 20s I wrestled with my logic on that one...silly me.
Then the flip side happened..wow....again, similar to suddenly seeing the hidden elephant in a 3D print.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

The world can be used as a mirror to enable us to become aware of our responses to it. It shows us our perceptions, which in turn show our fears and our desires. The labbrynth is perhaps the illusion the mind creates to try and hide what it doesnt want to be concious of.
