We have spoken about attachments and limitations, and this is one that is very important.
Giving up the notion of Self.
When you remain attached to the notion of Self, you have attached yourself to something that is and isn’t real.
Attachments to the notion of Self are many things, but more importantly the notion of Self is non-existent and existent.
The notion of Self can be explained as the human understanding of being, the human understanding of love, compassion, hate and anger, but also every action and reaction within and by the human are related to the notion of Self.
To reach enlightment you have to give up the notion of Self.
You have to give up reality and non-reality.
You have to give up all that is within existence and all that is within non-existence.
You see where we are bringing you, the existence of the notion of Self is an attachment that can be overcome, but only if you can give up all attachments that are the notion of Self.
