There is no personal self to do anything;

"No arbitrary judgment is required in a universe which is innately just and self-balancing. 
Each entity experiences the consequences of its own doing, its own choices, its own wishes and belief systems."
pg.152


"The Infinite Presence has no intentions because, here again, there would have to be the duality of an intender, that which is intended, and that to whom the intention is directed. 

All such constructs are conceptualizations based on perceptual duality. God is nondualistic, total, complete Allness and Oneness."
pg.153


"There is no speaker and no one to decide to speak. 
Life is directed and propelled by the Presence.
 The illusion of an independent, personal will or decision maker is gone forever."
pg.155


"There is no personal self to do anything; there is no thinker to think, no actor to act, no doer to do, no decider to decide. All verbs, adjectives, and pronouns become meaningless."
pg.155


"The Presence is beyond all thought, mentation, or even observation. 
The awareness is Self-awareness that stems from the knowingness of actually being All That Is; therefore, there is nothing to know 'about'.
 There is no knower or known; they are one and the same."
pg.157


"All considerations, expectations, and mental or emotional activity cease and are replaced by a silent knowingness which is without form or content. 
To be All That Is leaves nothing unanswered or unknown. That which formerly thought itself to be an 'I' or a 'me' has vanished. 
One is now invisible."
pg.159


"With the cessation of time, the doors swing open to an eternity of joy; the love of God becomes the Reality of the Presence.
 The Knowingness of the Truth of all Life and Existence stands forth with stunning Self-revelation. The wonderment of God is so all encompassing and enormous that it surpasses all possible imagination. To be at last truly and finally home is profound in the totality of its completeness. The idea that man fears God then seems so ludicrous that it is a tragic insanity.

 In reality, that which is the very essence of love dissolves all fear forever. 
There is also a divine comedy in the absurdity of mankind's struggles and sufferings are seen as pointless and needless. 
Divine Love is infinitely compassionate; that people believe in a God who gets upset and angry at people's limitations is hard to believe.
 The blind world of the ego is an endless nightmare; even its seeming gifts are evanescent and hollow. 
To be content with living in the confines of the ego is a pathetic price to pay for the measly crumbs that the ego repays for submission and subservience to it. 
 Its little gains and pleasures are pitiful and only fleeting and transient."
pg.87
