The Valley of Annihilation

• "Here, all is nothing and nothing is all"
• "The world is drowned, those who know they're null/ Are submerged then dissolve in joy and peace"
• " impure/ Souls remain as stone and aloe, hard and bitter things,/ Vainly resisting existance's fate, they're insecure/ And opaque, no light shines in them, they cling/ To the hook of self"
• "those who submit and merge/ With the greater whole retain their beauty, purge/ Themselves so they are when they cease to be./ This the mind cannot hold no matter how it tries to see"

Main Idea: those who are impure will cling onto their bodies as their souls try to leave, those who are pure will let their souls leave their bodies to join a greater energy, pure souls will purge themselves when they die because they are gaining something greater than themselves, the mind cannot understand it
