If you had a free round-trip ticket to anywhere, where would you go?

I would of course go the edge of the liminal, between here and there, between the shadow and the light;-
There were three sisters. They guarded the entrance to the Shadow World, where, illuminated and naked, the Self, that wayfarer without fear came face to face with that (sic) witch it truly is.
The first sister was named Agnosia. In many respects, hers was the hardest gate to cross, for all here is dismissed: everything is distraction and confusion. She will answer with a question. She will guide the seeker to dead ends, impassable rivers and unreachable summits. Yet she will always explain that she has not ignored you, for she has shown you the answers, though the way is never clear.
The second sister was called Aporia, and she looked like you, or whoever stood before her. She would take on their likeness, their mannerisms, and many would perceive this as mockery or sarcasm. Many call her the Mirror Soul, but that is not what she is, for as you face her, you face yourself.
The third sister is called Gnosis.
Here, the wayfarer looks backwards and sees that Agnosia was correct. She did shew the path, it is unreachable and everlasting, eternal. And as the hand reaches for the torch, its flame illuminates neither the beginning nor the end, but only the experience of existence
