Our cocoons.
Viewing our experience in this world as a dream,
Siddhartha found that our habit of fixating on the mere appearance of our
dreamlike relative world, thinking that it is truly existing, throws us into an
endless cycle of pain and anxiety. We are in a deep sleep, hibernating like a
silkworm in a cocoon. We have woven a reality based on our projections,
imagination, hopes, fears, and delusions. Our cocoons have become very solid
and sophisticated. Our imaginings are so real to us that we are trapped in the
cocoon. But we can free ourselves simply by realizing that this is all our
imagination.
