"There's a choice you make in everything you do, and the choice you makes you"

"A body came into the world, but it wasn't you. Because you were
unenlightened, you thought it was you. And everybody else said it
was — so you swallowed it all. Cosmic energy came into the world,
but it wasn't you.
You swear you were born, so therefore you think you are going to
die; you fear that "you" are not going to continue. The purpose
of this class is to withdraw such false information that you have
about yourself, which causes fear."
Your Power Of Natural Knowing, p. 164

"It's a cheerful thought that you can learn at first without
straining and without understanding what you are learning.
That means a lot to you if you can see it. It means that you
come to a class or read a book or enter into a learning experi-
ence without any desperation at all, without any self-labels,
such as calling yourself a slow-learner, but you enter into the
learning experience with just one thing, with a relaxed mind
that isn’t trying to prove that it can have instant insight.
The lessons, spiritual lessons included, have to come to you.
Now coming to you doesn’t mean coming to the you that you’ve
always been because if they get the lessons, they’re going to
twist them into their own favorite shapes.
I’m trying to tell you that now, right now as you’re listening
to me, you can’t be there to do anything at all with these high
powerful truths that you’re hearing and are going to hear more of.
What you can do is know that you are trying to interfere with the
lessons and then just step out of your own way. When you do that
you will have a new and true learning experience and it will be
like a bulldozer that pushes the trash on the lot out of the way
to leave the ground clear and clean, ready for the planting of
the spiritual seeds where something fruitful can grow."

Question: What is non attachment?
Answer: As thoughts arise, destroying them utterly without any residue in the very place of their origin is non-attachment.

Ascending seekers must rid themselves of self-labels, such as being
knowledgeable or authoritative. This lightening of yourself
enables you to reach the level of instruction, where you can
hear and begin to understand your teacher. A sincere climber
will never fail to hear."
