I’m not interested in you having a better story of who you are, a place to escape to when things are rough or unhappy, or boring. My interest in spending time with you, is that you discover who you are and that there is no escape from that. In surrendering to what there is no escape from, you will meet the bigger deeper truth of who you are. Then there is a critical shift, where you do not relate to life as a series of definitions subject to change. You recognize the definitions and at the same time recognize that they are imposed onto life. Life is free of definition. Life itself, the energy that infuses every life form is free of definition. You are free of definition. You have objectified and defined yourself as somebody, good or bad, enlightened or unenlightened, you got it or you didn’t get it, you kept it or you lost it, all of these are absurd definitions. The fear is to not define yourself at all. ... When you begin to set these self definitions aside and no longer do this behavior, the first fear is that you will not exist at all, that is the underlying fear. It is a strong deep fear that all the conditioning is attached to and it is true. When you stop defining yourself your self does not exist as any definition. You do exist, however not as a definition. You exit as who you are, conscious awareness; free, indefinable, inconceivable, undeniable and innocent." I love this, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing that with me, I am so grateful for your genius! “I have no interest in you having a better definition of who you are. I’m not interested in
