Don’t believe a word anyone tells you about enlightenment, awakening, liberation, original nature, or any other name for IT. The only way you will know for sure if this IT is for real is to find out for yourself.

The process, if you can call it that, as there is no you to do this, is to eliminate everything about yourself that is transitory. Why? If something is transitory, it can’t be considered real in the context of the search for IT. That is, if something is real, it will not come and go. It will be ever-present and undisturbed by anything that happens.

Getting back to ‘there is no you to do this’. This might sound perplexing, but when you eliminate all that you think you are, including all the temporary attributes of your body and mind and the ever-changing perceptions of the objective world, you find that this also eliminates the ‘you’, the personal self. So, in the end or beginning, depending on how you look at it, as neither an end nor beginning can actually be found, there is no you to search for liberation in the first place.

Now, and this is the important part, don’t believe a word of this.
