I AM THAT: Quote from Chapter 63

[Guest guest]

Chapter 63

 

Life itself is desire-less. But the false self wants to continue –

pleasantly. Therefore, it is always engaged in ensuring one's

continuity. Life is unafraid and free. As long as you have the idea

of influencing events, liberation is not for you: the very notion of

doer-ship, of being a cause, is bondage.

[Guest guest]

The false self has no desire to continue

or not continue. It has no desire whatsoever.

It is truly a false self, unreal.

 

Nothing makes you bound, for there is no

separable entity ever, to ever have been bound.

 

You have no ideas, either to influence events

or not influence events.

 

All you are is an idea, and that idea comes and

goes. It influences nothing, fails to influence

nothing. It is just part of an endless stream

of apparent phenomenal events, all interdependently

arising.

 

Love,

Dan
