' The release of identity '...


“The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating.

That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and profound revelations to go through – to accept the degree of surrender needed to literally let go of all experience and all self-reference.

Even in great revelations, there is almost always something that wants to claim, ‘I am this.’ Every time you claim, ‘I am this,’ you just claimed another sense perception, thought, emotion, or feeling.

Eventually, when you go through this enough times, the mind gets it on the deepest level and lets go completely.

When the mind lets go, you always know who and what you are, even though you can’t define or describe it or even think about it. You just know it by being it. This is the ultimate release of identity and separateness.”
