When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.
The problem is not yours - it is your mind's only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.
You have never been, nor shall ever be, a person. Refuse to consider yourself as one. But as long as you do not even doubt yourself to be Mr. So-and-so, there is little hope. When you refuse to open your eyes, what can you be shown?
All is a play in consciousness. All divisions are illusory. You can know the false only. The true you must yourself be.
In your world everything must have a beginning and an end. If it does not, you call it eternal. In my view, there is no such thing as beginning and end - these are all related to time.

There are always moments when one feels empty and estranged. Such moments are most desirable, for it means the soul has cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places.

Remember the instruction: Whatever you come across -- go beyond.
