Seeing for yourself is transformational. It has profound influence or at least makes an impact.

If the attention is invested in the five senses, less of it is available for the sixth sense, which is thinking. Now we are ‘more awake’ (from the story, to sensory experiencing).

So who are you? What are you? Who is I? What is I, me? You have to look and see if you can find anything anywhere that you could call ‘me’. Where is it located? What are its limits? What does ‘it’ look like? How does ‘it’ feel? Who is watching ‘it’? Wouldn’t it be another ‘me’? Where does ‘it’ appear?

Self-obsession. All about me. I was the centre of my universe. I was sick of myself and full of myself at the same time

Recognition of attachment pattern as impersonal activity liberates one from both: attachment and detachment.

This seemingly separate self dissolves in recognition, like darkness ends in light.

Acknowledge the content of all the senses, including thinking, if attention goes there. Acknowledge the background. You are That — not a body or thought but rather the absence thereof…

You do not need your ego: neither to survive nor to thrive in the appearance (the world). You may leave it behind: shift out.

the images in the mirror: they are visible; we can say they are there. But go and try to grab one. You can't. So they are not there at the same time. Just quit trying to grasp it with the mind. The answer is not there.
