3 Brutal Truths for Spiritual Seekers That Dissolve Illusion and Erase Your Existence

The honest answer demolishes the foundation of your assumed autonomy.

The car drives itself according to its mechanics and the lay of the land. There is thinking but no thinker. Feeling but no feeler. Seeing but no seer. Just this happening, spontaneously unfolding without a central command center…
