You did not ask to be born. So what gave you birth? It goes beyond your father and your mother. The truth is nothing gave you birth. Really you were never born. See these things I’m sharing with you sound ludicrous to some of you. You were never born. You’re absolute reality. You’re effortless choice-less pure awareness. You’re boundless space. You have no body. Nothing that you do matters at all. I know to the average person this sounds ludicrous, totally ridiculous yet this is the truth.

This is the reason I take you down a couple of notches to show you that as you progress on this path, as you’re doing your humanhood, [you] find yourself becoming happier and happier, more peaceful. Things do not bother you too much. You take control of your life. And then I say, ‘You have no life. There is nothing to take control of. There is nobody home.’ What a confusion this is. Yet when your mind does get confused this way thinking about these things, your mind becomes a little weaker. This is an important step. I’ll repeat it.

When your mind gets confused thinking, ‘Am I not the body? Am I the body? Am I empty space?’ Just by pondering these questions within yourself the mind begins to slow down and this is exactly what you’re trying to do. To slow down the mind. So be confused, it’s good for you. It’s a tremendous help for your unfoldment.

When you’re not confused you are simply attached to your beliefs, your preconceived ideas, your concepts and your linear thinking. When you are confused your linear thinking begins to break up, your concepts begin to break up, your values begin to break up, everything that you believe and stood for begins to break up. Which means you’re becoming free—and that is the whole idea, to become free.
