No-Self



The idea of no-self can be a confusing and even sticky point. One does not loose anything besides the story of self. What is seen through is all the preconceived notions, ideas, identities, attachments, and beliefs about self. Once these dissolve the true self comes through. What is here then is so much more than anything that is perceived as lost. What is left is true beingness, the fullness of life itself. No story or attachment can compare to the peace, love, and , joy of life that is left when the true self is realized. The catch is that the more you seek for this to happen the more it will elude you. It is only in resting in this present non-conceptual awareness, and seeing the stories for what they are that everything will fall away. No matter how hard the story tries it can not get rid of itself.
