99.9%! of you will not get this even after i explain below..so just read the amazon reviews for the book ON HAVING NO HEAD, or better still read the book.
up to a certain age we dont have a self image..we are just infinite little creatures...but then by the repeated use of mirrors, we begin to construct or fabricate a false head on top of our necks....we are trying to put [with our imagination] one of those things on the top of our necks that we[from the outside] see other people have on the top of theirs.
the only thing is we are seeing theirs from an onlookers vantage point and they are doing the same: visualizing someone elses head from an onlookers vantage point and sticking that outsiders viewpoint imaginary head on top of their neck.
the true first person experience of what is really on the top of your neck is infinte space, unblemished..crystal clear, and as the author douglas harding says, it the radical cure for any real or imagined facial blemish or disfigurement.

Those that are shallow beings will become what they see in a mirror. Those that are always searching for new ideas and answers will not be fooled by the image they see in the mirror.
