Reincarnation is bullshit.
Karma is bullshit.
Souls are bullshit.

They’re all stories. Told and retold by people who don’t know. Nobody knows. Nobody knows anything. And that’s where freedom lies – in acknowledging that you know nothing.

Even when you learn from teachers who give you specific details and information – you still don’t know. You’ve never experienced any of it – that would be impossible. You’ve only heard stories.

If you believe what they say, those stories just become another belief system, and you take that belief system with you on your path and you argue it with others in defense of your acquired stories.

I invite you to consider that teachers don’t share this information because its true. They share this information because you must believe it in order to move forward in your life.

Sometimes beliefs are life boats.

The problem is, once you get to the shore, you don’t get out of the boat. You stay in the boat and float along the riverbank collecting more and more rafts.

These beliefs and stories are only a frame of reference for you to wake up. That’s how the world works. Teachers will lead you where you need to go by any means necessary. As Ram Dass said, “the method has to trap you.”

Teachers give you a life boat (a method) and you must get in (believe it) to get to your next stop. However, all methods are traps; its up to you to remember to get out of the boat.
