THERE IS NO 'ME'! L.E: Then it's true that you are talking to yourself. Is that correct? Go back the way you came. L.E: Is that a nice way to treat a nightmare? And in this dream, you must know which way that is. Where I came from and where I must return. Where does the dream go when the dreamer is dreaming? Or does your dream have rules, like ignorance of the other, or gravity, or if you deal drugs you may get arrested and jailed? Are you in control of your dream, or does it just go its own way? If you control your dream are you still asleep, or awake. And if awake how can all this be happening? If you are neither awake nor dreaming, how does this conversation occur? SPEAK UP!

Hidden within that statement is the root belief that there is substantial something that can somehow alter its fate through a corrective action. There is not. Go on in there and see if you can find anything or anybody. In truth 'you' are the very movement that is seeking to see itself... If that is internalizes......there is a self-destruction that can be gradual or as sudden as a flash of lightening. Where I came from and where I must return. You art the child of a barren woman. This 'I' that you refer to ....is a phantom.......an empty house...a screeching clot of memories.........that exists for a time within mind.....and then dissolves back into its natural abode.
