When a sense of self takes form in the mind, we can become burdened
and limited by our own fiction about ourselves-- our story of who we
think we are. What would it be to let the self lose its substance? A
profound and immediate freedom can be discovered through seeing
clearly beyond the illusion of personality to the truth of
selflessness.
Moods can be so pervasive that they form the psychic posture we have towards life. We can distill our relationship to life down to a mood when we forget the law of impermanence.
