“I am part of Life, that is true! But in what way? To be life or a thing of life? I have to choose. My thoughts express themselves, my emotions arise, my body moves, I become those movements, I do not stay present within them. Everything flows and changes in me and I let myself be carried away by those currents. And yet, the Ineffable Immobile exists behind what is expressed, beyond what is moving, but that I cannot see because I never dwell inside myself. I am not conscious inside myself. I never know life itself but only its manifestation.”

"I feel that I am caught in a net woven by my thoughts, my emotions, my sensations; and I am convinced that it is my thoughts, my emotions that hold me. On the contrary, my thinking is not to blame. I have to understand something that is easy to grasp logically, but very difficult to understand with feeling: it is ‘me’ who clings to these thoughts, these emotions, these objects that reach my senses. In fact, it is through these thoughts, these objects that I have the impression of existing, but this is not true. I can feel my true nature behind this. This is something I do not know and must be prepared to accept by giving up what I usually cling to."
