Yeah, I know all of that
now, but I had to drop even the doctrine of annata before I fully and experientially realised it.
I came to realise I was 'all in my head' and until I let go of all that and went down into my heart, was I able to finally break free of all that suffering and untie that last knot that was holding me back from all this. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
