Nirvana is a step beyond. You dissolve into the universe. The universe dissolves into you until there is no longer a difference. There is no sense of individual self as perceiver.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We are made up of nothing. There is no self. We are whatever we decide we are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your mind is your life. It's your essence and your substance. It's the part of you that has always been and will always be. Its formations change constantly, which is what makes you always new.
