I call it normal

[iamom]

I figured out what it is I'm trying to do, here (again). Ever since that comment from awesboss yesterday, I've been reflecting on exactly how deep I want to go. When I wasn't coming up with anything on my own last night, I turned to the only book ever written and found the answer:

Student: How is it done?
Teacher: There is no 'how' here. Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind.

S: And you call it liberation?
T: I call it normal. What is wrong with being, knowing and acting effortlessly and happily? Why consider it so unusual as to expect the immediate destruction of the body? What is wrong with the body that it should die? Correct your attitude to your body and leave it alone. Don't pamper, don't torture. Just keep it going, most of the time below the threshold of conscious attention.
