I know this is probably going to sound like word juggling.

And therefore there’s a fair chance it doesn’t mean anything to you.

Sorry if that’s the case.

You can go now and eat some cheese, a sandwich, or a piece of melon.

Or French fries (I LOOOOOOVE fries).

Or maybe nothing, because maybe you’re intermittent fasting right now.

Like me.

But…

When you study enlightenment, when you read up about it, you always find that the sages and the teachers and the gurus say that it’s not for the person.

People don’t get enlightened.

Enlightenment is already there.

Huh?

Well, that’s what they say.

You’re becoming free FROM the person.

Not AS the person.

…

……

FROM.

Not AS.

……

……

Hahaha.

And you know what?

It’s true.

Really!

Does that mean anything?

Well, not for the person.

But the experience OF the person gets a lot less constricted, tight, and anxious.

Less personal, less serious, less narrow.

Is that good?

Yes, that’s really good.

Time to go and eat something.
