If you gaze for long enough into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. (Neitzche)...Get rid of the self and act from the self! (zen saying)...The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has gained liberation from the self. (Albert Einstein)...The zen master said, "Who binds you?" The seeker of liberty said, "No-one binds me." The zen master said, "Then why seek liberation?" (zen mondo)...What is troubling us is the tendancy to believe that the mind is like a little man within. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)...Search back into your own vision. Think back to the mind that thinks. Who is it? (Wu - Men)
