There Is No Birth

You have no idea what anything is, but I tell you again,
everything is unborn.


Nothing actually exists and the only explanation is, it's like a dream. 


When you have a dream, do you give birth to everything?
The dream just begins, with everything as it appears.
You do not go to a beginning, or to an end. 


The dream just starts from nothing and it goes on until you awaken.


The waking state is called the mortal dream. 

We're dreaming the mortal dream.


All of the things that you are interested in, all of your fears,
all of your frustrations, goods and bads,
all of your happy and sads, it's all a dream. 


And the more you get attached to it, the more human you become. 


It's like getting attached to a dream and
never waking up and you keep living the dream. 


Consequently, you create your own reincarnation
because you are attached to person, place and thing. 


And this pulls you back into a body, over and over and over again
until you learn to let go, until you start practicing, emptiness.


~Robert Adams - T.2 There Is No Birth! - 12th August, 1990
