How to Find Freedom

Be suspicious of yourself
Trust that conditioned mind seeks protection from the truth
This protection is the Jail of Karmic Becoming

Be honest about yourself
Trust that reductionistic mind is a jailer
This fixed mind is ignorance

Be uncertain about yourself
Trust that beliefs about self are the destroyer of freedom
These beliefs are death

Be unimpeded in heart and mind
Trust that clarity knows it is empty
This is the deathless. This is freedom
