"Freedom is the realization that this
deep, deep peace and this unknown are what you are. Everything else is
just an extension of that unknown. Bodies are just an extension of that
unknown. The trees outside are just an extension of the unknown in time,
in form. Thought and feeling are also extensions of the unknown in
time. The whole visible universe, in fact, is just an extension in time
of this unknown, this mountain of quiet.
So it's really important to get to the point of maturity where you are willing to look at what is fundamental. There is a difference between pulling the weeds of confusion out and getting to the root of Truth. Did you ever pull weeds from a lawn, grabbing only their tops, and discover they were back again so quickly that it was as if the lawn was never weeded at all?
Clearing out identification is like this."
