Find Self |

|
|
To find your real self -- negate your self as knowing, doing, and being anything but your original self: your vessel nature. To find self--negate self. To be self--deny self. To know self--identify only with being. To live--die to everything. To just be--deny being anything. To know--be quiet and listen. To do--get out of the way. To be--stop doing. Know only that you do not know. Do only attention and identity. Be only the vessel. Be no thing. Be no image. Be no thought. Be no concept. Be no construct. Be no comparison. Be no feeling. Be no memory. Be no behavior. Be no sensation. To become something is to become nothing. To become nothing is to become someone. To be your self be no one and everyone. The only thing to become is dead. I pray I may be the empty me. I deconstruct all ideas, concepts, images, and constructs of the self revealing the true self. SELF: Know, Do, Be The container is the place and space inside for the contents. The contents are the sensations, thoughts, and feelings you entertain. Know the place. Do the space. Be the relation of the place and space to the contents of the space and place.
