...So then, just in the same way as you dont know--you dont focus your attention--on how you make your thyroid gland function, so in the same way, you dont have any attention focused on how you shine the sun. So then, let me connect this with the problem of birth and death, which puzzles people enormously of course. Because, in order to understand what the self is, you have to remember that it doesnt need to remember anything, just as you dont need to know how you work your thyroid gland...Everybody is I, you all know youre you, and wheresoever all being exist throughout all galaxies, it doesnt make any difference. You are all of them. And when they come into being, thats you coming into being. You know that very well, only you dont have to remember the past in the same way you dont have to think about how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism. You dont have to know how to shine the sun. You just do it, like you breath. ~Alan Watts...
