To thy own self be true? Cool!
The machine (Mark) noticed IT is going to do what it is going to do automatically anyway with or without a real or false self and awareness of the process is enough - making it wrong for being too egotistical perhaps is a bizarre gameto have been playing and it is time to set IT free! Someone asked why I am writing a book? The real answer to this is, because I am writing a book. There is a Mark machine and I am the effect of a myriad of causes spanning six decades, prior to that if we include nurture and the influence of the generations of parents, grand parents etc. I have an idea what it might be up to. It will be more apparent if I give IT freedom to be. Which means "know thy self to be illusory and enjoy the ride" in this section of this particular Universe. I am not that which yearns to be FREE. Let it BE. I am its effect so allow it to create. Celebrate the creation.
