Conforming.

Conforming is always playing it safe!

If we truly investigate the mystery of self, as the Buddha did, we will find the same truth he found. How can it be different. Truth is Truth. And what is this great Truth? Simple. Behind everything there is only emptiness. Everything we can know is impermanent, and only has the power or reality we give it. In truth, there is nothing that you really are. Everything that builds up your identity is illusion. It’s an idea. The idea to be young or old, tall or short, fat or thin, rich or poor, man or woman, French or English, only exists when held up against its opposite.

You are only a parent in front of your children. You are only a child in front of your parent. You are only the teacher in front of the student. You are only the student in front of the teacher.

When you are alone in your home – what are you then?

So, there is nothing that you really are, and so it must follow, no way you have to be. This is just more mind stuff. More social and cultural control.

What a man is, what a woman is, don’t be deluded by the ideas of others. The world is occupied by unenlightened beings telling everyone how they should be.

Be true to your ‘no-self’ and flow in your life.

May all beings be happy.
