I have gone through the details. I cannot summarize it for you, but as I have told you his thoughts regarding LOVE, now I will tell you some other ideas he told.
1. Seeking for security is inviting insecurity.
2. We human beings are what we have been for millions of years…
Colossally greedy,
Aggressive,
Jealous,
Anxious,
and despairing
with occasional flashes of joy and affection.
3. We are frightened of death, we are afraid of known and unknown. So we ESCAPE from actual reality.
4. Normally we thrive on blaming others, it is a form of self-pity.
5. Leaders destroy followers and followers destroy leaders. Whom to blame?
6. If you don’t follow somebody,
you feel lonely.
Be lonely then.
Why are frightened of being alone?
Because you are faced with yourself and you find that you are empty, dull, stupid, ugly, guilty and anxious.
Face the fact, look at it, do not run away from it. The moment you run away fear begins.
7. Most of us are not sensitive even physically.
We overeat. We don’t bother about the right diet.
We over smoke.
We over drink-whatever liquid it is.
Then our body becomes insensitive.
The quality of attention is made dull.
Well, friends, I can enlist so many things, but I have to see that you only gain some glimpses of the book and your desire to read the said book is lighted. That should be enough, I hope. Actually, he does not advocate followers. He asks each one of us to be the ones' own teacher and ones' own disciple. You have to fully be with yourself, to decide your path.You define LOVE for yourself and follow that.
You rationalize your own life and live that accordingly,
BEST OF LUCK then...
Freedom From The Known
