Even as a rider of bulls, you are not your experience.

Through parable, examine the attachment to what most call 'life'. realize that ‘we are not our experience’.

If you're attached to life, you’re attached to death. they appear to be mutually arising... yet were purposefully paired to encourage its observers to stay behind the ranches fence.

Break the spell!

“Hank and Wyatt were born butt-naked rodeo twins.”

The ‘twins’ symbolize duality, where one of the ‘brothers’ is aware of their choice and ‘playground’ location, while the other is not.

The ‘bull horns’ represent duality, and have done some throughout ‘history’. The ‘angus’ bull shares the homonym sound ‘ang’, which is indicative of the ‘ang’les that make up dualistic creation.

“Wyatt swigged a cold beer, barely recalling his steer wrestling trophies, as they were long holding up the table in his trailer. Sitting at the bar, he watched Hank’s nervous leg bounce so furiously that it shook the present out of the ‘overall’ experience. In front of the neon beer sign, Hank believed he WAS his experience. A few more cold ones went down as Hank fidgeted about dying.”

“In best intention, Wyatt prodded his brother to ride the bull that once nearly took his life. The drink flowed, and with what seemed a 5th of whisky he reluctantly agreed.”

OVERALLS

An item of clothing that represents the aspects of the personality that are thought of as being the real you, but are nothing but symptoms of an experience.

“Soon, the shoot opened, and Hank barreled into his ‘final’ yet cyclical competition. Within the dust cloud, that same bull ended up goring him, but this time - between the legs.”

One cannot reach intrinsic peace and presence through dualistic methods - unless of course you have a high enough power electric cattle-prod ; )

“Fortunately, for Hank’s sake... he immediately died.”

“During the funeral, Wyatt smirked at the thick mourning within the congregation, chuckling, “What the heck’s wrong with y’all… he’ll be back, buck naked, and so will you. Damn, cowboys who cling to life are always ‘reborn’. Sometimes folks, scratching your butt with yer’ own horns just ceases to make sense.””

Reincarnation is brought on at transition by being attached to things and experiences. The choice ‘to go to the light’ (duality) had already been made because of the attachment. This state always brings you back to play again. Wyatt can choose to play, while Hank must play again as his choice was made upon attachment.

Sometimes it’s better to have never been born than to forget your overalls aren’t you!”

After your next ride, shake yourself off and hobble into the Alchemy Lounge for a cool one…
