PURE PRESENCE

When you come to the place where there's nothin' left to believe 

in,

well, maybe, just maybe, 

that's the time to stop all your believe in

and to check closely to find what you know to be so.

Then follow the knowledge you discover

while you forget belief.

I found mine to be a smoke mirage taught me by someone else.

One fine day I realized I was sick and tired of my own opinions

(none of which were really my own) and found myself to be free.

That was all that had been necessary...freedom is pure presence.
