Drawn
The ideas, drawn.
Nine pictures for the ideas that are hardest to hold in words: three states of consciousness and what runs through them, the rope taken for a snake, the lit screen, the layers you can watch, and the line of teachers from the Upaniṣads to the present day. Each one appears inside the reading it belongs to; they are gathered here so you can see the whole shape at once.
Every diagram was drawn for this site and carries no text you cannot also read in the essays. If one of them makes a claim you want to check, the readings give the source for it.
