Really to appreciate What we are, with clarity and impact, we must first be identified with what we are not. Really to value the perfectly obvious, we must first acquire the habit of overlooking and denying it. The Universe is such that true liberation doesn’t happen in vacuo; it is liberation from what’s false - without which it isn’t liberation at all. So it comes about that our list of troubles - that alas-far-from-complete tale of woe - isn’t all woe. It is the precondition of a freedom that can be had no other way.
