Man is just a memory. You understand things around you by the help of the knowledge that was put in you.

You can deal with anything, you can do anything if you do not waste your energy trying to achieve imaginary goals.

What you are left with is the pulse, the beat and the throb of life.
Your constant utilization of thought to give continuity to your separate self is you. There is nothing there inside you other than that.
We are using the neurons, our identity, to constantly maintain our identity. Whether you are awake, asleep, or dreaming, this process is carried on. But, it is wearing you out.That is why I say the tragedy that is facing mankind is not AIDS or cancer, but Alzthiemer's disease.
