Everything that physically happens to us is automatically happening. This typing and your reading are the same machinations; nobody, no agency is behind it pulling the strings.
In other words, we're all Pinochio!

You Have Nothing To Do With
Your heartbeat
Your cellular division
Your neurones firing
Your genome
Your decisions
You sitting there
You calling your friend
...it's all just arising and falling away, phenomena overwhelming, whelming; washing over. Not being held onto or pushed away.
Just being comfortable with whatever's coming up (however dramatic and energetic) means that whatever comes up has no teeth.
It's a waste of energy to push anything down. You're a whale! let it blow!

Identification with the Character
Your life is a sitcom. Don't pretend otherwise. Just enjoy the play and exaggerate it so that you see the plasticity of it. An actor playing an actor playing a role, all played by the same nobody.
Conditioning
The conditioning is very much a part of it. You need conditioning to do things like cut up food, analyse the stock market and cross the road. There is one specific area of conditioning that, when unfastened, blows the whole thing loose. That area is to do with personal identity and can be in-seen right here to be a fallacy. Every day, minute by minute, the universe is de-conditioning this particular aspect.
ME-ing
No need to refrain from the me-ing that inevitably happens. Allow it to happen as there is no choice in the matter. The truth is that the me-ing goes on but HAHAHA FOR NOBODY AHAHAHAHAH!

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."
