“The mechanism that keeps you asleep is the delusion of attainment. On a deep fundamental level, you believe that you can acquire an outside source and make it become part of you, make it complete you.
Until you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that attainment is an illusion, your ‘self’ will still feel real and your search will seem justified, necessary, unavoidable.”
-Kyle Hoobin
MICHAEL: Because we assume we are not enough simply as we are, we look to the world to fill that lack. But, what if our starting assumption is incorrect? What if the belief that we are lacking something was never actually true? If you are truly not lacking anything, then what do you “need” from the world?
