Signlessness

     You can’t get there from here, cause if you believe in “here”, you also believe in “there”, and the only way to actually get there is by understanding that there has been here all the time.

     The Three Marks of Existence as expressed in the Dharma are: impermanence, egolessness, suffering/nirvana.
     The transformative aspects of the Three Marks are known as The Three Doors of Liberation: aimlessness, emptiness, and signlesness.

     All of these words are expansive, and the ideas and meanings roll into and over one another depending on context.

     Signlessness, in on sense, is the transcendence of language and concepts as we commonly understand them. But without language and concept we have no basis for communication and must use these tools to forge new tools that can get the job done. This is why so much of the Dharma sounds like nonsense to those who first approach it as cynics or semantics to those of us who want to understand but haven’t had any training.
     It takes daring to make a trip that clearly puts you back where you started, or put another way, takes you absolutely nowhere. But that’s exactly the only way to get somewhere!
