A "The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us." ~ Gloria Steinem

The pathless path is neither about throwing out techniques and conditioned learning, nor getting endlessly caught in some new routine or regime which generates new seeking for the egoic mind. It is true that with the conditioned self we can't make awakening happen, but we can begin to loosen the bonds of the ego by making unconscious patterns conscious and disidentifying a sense of "I" from them.

Around one quarter of near-death survivors report encountering the dead, as I did. Some were long-dead relatives, some were the recently dead, and some were not yet known to have died. One American soldier responded to an appeal in military publications for near-death experiences with this account of a helicopter crash in Vietnam: “It was peaceful and cool. I could see others like myself just sort of floating around only inches from the ground… dead [fnemy]. Our eyes meet, but there are no hard feelings between us, just something we have in common… people walk past you, and you know what they are thinking… we all have the same thing in common… we are dead.”
