bardo thödol, n.All

The Bardo Thödol (n.) rests ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠on a magnificently affirmative "both-and," not the niggardly European "either-or": its gods are projections of the psyche and real at once.

The Bardo Thödol (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a useless book that opens only to a spiritual understanding no one is born with; it is meant for queer folk who no longer value the uses of civilization.
