Self-Help

actually, that is a good question...

but by seeing what didn't work for others, you might apply it to yourself...

then again...

Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn't one.

The "self" is not a true subject but an object, a collection of thoughts and feelings that the ego tries to protect for the body's survival.

The ground of all experience is groundless.

Infinite Pure Consciousness is this invisible vision.

Real vision is the ability to see the invisible.

The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.

Grounding in silence and stillness is being for absolutely nothing.

Gary ought to be pleased.
