Don’t Fall in Love With Ideas

You are only lost in your head. Bondage is in your head and Freedom is in your head. Neither of them actually exist. In the non-existence of Bondage and Freedom… this duality is what we call Freedom. When you are no longer in your head, then… What does it mean? You are no longer relying on your mind to give you a version of Reality that you depend on. (It sounds like complicated words, they are actually very simple). You are no longer relying on your mind, to give you a version of Reality that you depend on. Then are you lost? Are you found? Neither of these actually exist for you. And this is the most natural way. The problem is if you want to take something that we are right about along with us, then it just cannot work. Because contained in this conceptual version of Reality, are contained all the versions of Reality. One idea contains every idea. Every idea is dependent on every other idea and in a way then contains every idea. You can explore this because even a simple idea like ‘a man is walking down the street’, you can start looking at; what ‘a man’ is, what ‘walking’ is, what ‘street’ is and you get so many other ideas. Then you start looking as those ideas, and there may be so many ideas. What is a man? Each of you may have different ideas about that. So if you start looking in this way you will see that everything in your entire lexicon, in your entire dictionary, is contained in one idea. So you cannot carry your favorite idea with you. Whatever it may be. Why do you want it anyway? Because you think it represents the Truth? It doesn’t. Don't fall in love with ideas.
