We are questioning the cultivation through the centuries this idea of the self, the ‘me’ that must evolve through time, many births, or be saved by a saviour.
We must inquire into what has created the ‘me’, the self.
Reality is everything that thought has created. Nature is not created by thought.
Truth has nothing whatsoever to do with thought.
Can thought dissolve the structure which it has created as the ‘me’?
Your approach dictates the resolution of a problem. If you approach it with any motive or try to escape, the problem will always remain.

We are corrupt beyond measure so we create a society that is utterly corruptible.
Intelligence and love go together. Without love we cannot have intelligence.
