"FUCK Y'ALL™" C.1908
Amongst the evils of a penal colony is the society of those who form it; and if the reader is worthy of better company, he will need no words from me to remind him of what he has to put up with at present. If he has a soul above the common, or if he is a man of genius, he will occasionally feel like some noble prisoner of state, condemned to work in the galleys with common criminals; and he will follow his example and try to isolate himself.

BARDO: OUR JOURNEY
(How the internet helped me to understand)
In the terma discovered by Karma Lingpa, Guru Padmasambhava introduces six different bardos.
The first bardo begins when we take birth and endures as long as we live.
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
The second is the bardo of dreams.
(self-explanatory)
The third is the bardo of concentration or meditation.
...In seeing there is love, in being seen there is abhorrence. One grins, trying to bear the pain of being seen. But not just anyone can be someone who only looks. If the one who is looked at looks back, then the person who was looking becomes the one who is looked at...
The fourth occurs at the moment of death.
At the end of the Hentai Manga Alice in Sexland, it is revealed that Alice broke her neck while fleeing from her oppressors at the very start - the entire realm of Sexland is her afterlife. (And it's explicitly single-occupant - she's the only "real" person there besides the Queen of Hearts, and one of them needs to be reincarnated.) Given that the whole story up until then has been a cheerful sexual adventure vaguely mimicing Carroll's classic book, it's a rather unsettling twist of genre.
Or so you heard?
I think we're mature enough to acknowledge that we all enjoy porn. also, its not that the characters aside from Alice and the Queen aren't "real", they're more akin to nature spirits than souls. remember that Sexland is a Japanese story, and that the major religion of Japan is animistic.
The fifth is known as the bardo of the luminosity of the true nature.
The sixth is called the bardo of transmigration or karmic becoming

I AM PSALM
YEAH, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE UNCANNY VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF SEX
I WILL FEAR FOR EVIL: FOR THE ART WITHIN ME
MY ROD MY STAFF MY COMFORT FOOD
PREPAID, AND ON THE TABLE BEFORE ME, THE PRESENTS OF MINE ENEMIES
TO ALLOW THIS HEAD TO BOIL; MY CUP RUNNETH OVER
ON SHORE LEAVE GOOSEFLESH AND MERCY FLOW OVER ME THE DAYS OF MY LIFE
I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER

READ KIERKEGAARD AND REGRET IT
Laugh at the stupidities of the world, and you will regret it; weep over them, and you will also regret it. Laugh at the stupidities of the world or weep over them, you will regret it either way. Whether you laugh at the stupidities of the world or you weep over them, you will regret it either way. Trust a girl, and you will regret it. Do not trust her, and you will also regret it. Trust a girl or do not trust her, you will regret it either way. Whether you trust a girl or do not trust her, you will regret it either way. Hang yourself, and you will regret it. Do not hang yourself, and you will also regret it. Hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret it either way. Whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret it either way.
