Liberation doesn't mean....

* Eternal bliss
* The End of neuroses and anxiety
*Mystical Visions
*Going vegetarian and meditating
*Writing a book about 'The Now'
*Detachment
* Changing your name to Vishna-nanda-dass-as

But it does mean a total caving in, physically felt by the way, of what was thought to be 'the self'. What is left only resembles what is there before; it hangs together, which is fascinating because there is absolutely nothing holding it there!

This is also true over there. IN-tuiting that this streaming is already happening there is what leads to the Utter Caving In.

Look down...

(there's no floor)

True Love Leaves No Traces

"This question haunted me all my life and suddenly it hit me: 'There is no self to realize. What the hell have I been doing all this time?' You see, that hits you like lightning. Once that hits you, the whole mechanism of the body that is controlled by this thought is shattered. What is left is the tremendous living organism with an intelligence of its own. What you are left with is the pulse, the beat and the throb of life."

U.G. Krishnamurti
