We like to say, well, I know myself. But, if that's the case,
your growth has stopped because you're a fixed entity. And
what the Buddha reminds us of is that we are an awareness
at root. We are fluid and formless and there's an absolute
freedom to that. And if there are things about yourself that
you don't like, they're not fixed, they're habits and they can
be resisted and unwound with suitable labor. So, we're all
in the same boat as far as that goes.
