Sit down, close your eyes. Let all the eyes in your mind drift away; they matter not. What some person thinks of you tomorrow is not a worry for now and perhaps not a worry at all. When these eyes have gone, you can see life itself more clearly. And sit there and observe it, feel it.
And feel that nothing has a base, nothing has a fundament, nothing has a true structure. Think to yourself why am I doing this and realise that no satisfying answer will ever come to you. ‘Why do I work?’ And you realise life is a series of ‘next steps’ and no true ground. This ‘having no ground’ is fundamental to the human life, it is its essence. Bask in the uncertainty that overwhelms you: you are home! Can you not laugh because you know that you belong here, in this nothingness? Do you not recognise it? Or has your fragile mind forgotten its own existence? Or perhaps it has never known, and has lived in illusion since birth. Then this realization is the stripping of illusion. All persons break when the illusion is stripped but all are more real for it. Those who live still in illusion are cursed to be but actors, to live in fakeness and delight in delusion for they do not know it is delusion. So I say to you: break! All those who hear me: break yourself! Break yourself and so rid yourself of illusion; become at least aware of it.
For awareness is but the first step, as it always is. Yet even in awareness, the illusion is not easily avoided. It is perhaps even impossible to live truly without it, since it is somehow essential to human life, as I have said.
