Well, I guess I must be incredibly stupid. Yes, you are. Because seeing it again and again, yeah, very. Because whenever I look I don't see it, yet the belief reasserts itself. It's just believed in again. Yes, but it will lose its hold by seeing and seeing and seeing and seeing that it's not there. That's what I keep on hearing, but I'm not seeing. So, if I look, is now seeing, is there a self-centred? If I look for it, no. So, when is the me there? Who's trying to see the losing of the hold? Who's trying to see the losing of the hold? You're back in the trip, aren't you?
Drop the hold. Do you have to see the losing of the hold or not? What's wrong with that now, if you drop that? That's the very thing that I mean, you see. Although seeing it, I go right back into it. I mean, that's stupid. Recognise it's stupid and you won't bother doing it. I'm not kidding. If you're driving down the road and you're going to get down on the freeway and there's a big sign in front of you, wrong way, go back. What do you do? Turn around and get out of there as fast as you can. What are you going to do? Are you going to go down there the next time?
Or the time after? You've seen that it's the wrong way. What do you do? Intelligence will tell you, don't go there. If anything happens there, intelligence will tell you, when you see that you're getting on the line, you're getting on the same train, don't go there. Full stop. Even if it's just forward long enough to get you out of that habit. Those habits look very interesting. And by the way, there's nobody here in this room who got it. So you're not in bad company. There's a bit of a trap to kind of look for results. Because, you know, what are the results supposed to be like?
Like the losing of the hold or everything falling away and all these experiences of freedom and having the full understanding and all that kind of stuff. You see, you can't work it out in the mind. You can't work it out in the mind. You can't work it out in the mind. You believe you're stupid because you can't work it out in the mind. And we tell you, you'll never work it out in the mind. What do you do? Drop it. Full stop. Relax. Just relax with that. So you don't fall apart. I'm not going to be the end of you. I'll finish you. Kind of dropping all expectations and just, you know, just kind of falling back or relaxing as that awareness.
It sort of takes care of things. But by themselves without any knowledge of how that might be, just, you know, with no comparing or looking and listening to someone else telling you what it's supposed to be like. Just let it take care of itself, in a way. That's just so kind of natural. If they know me, there never was a me and it has brought you this far. No doubt. You believed there was, and even in all the struggle that we put up, in that belief made it so hard for ourselves. Still taking you where it's brought us. You're right here right now, presently. Think it's going to drop you now?
And what could it drop if there's no entity there to drop?
