"Yes, even if you don't as yet see clearly, that you're not your own thoughts and feelings, begin to try and see it. Begin to separate the thoughts and feelings as they go through you. You are really not them. You have heard this before, but you had better go into it much deeper. You are not...your identity does not consist of anything that you think whatsoever. It consists of nothing you think. It consists of nothing you feel, furthermore, you are not the physical body... to get the third part in there. You identify with the physical body, but you are not the physical body at all. You have called it yours, so you are quite familiar with it. It's not you at all. If you were your physical body, there would be no eternity. You would die with the body. Do not identify with any of them. This is what keeps us in terror. When my body dies, I die. See what you're afraid of? You have identified with all these things that are going through you, including the physical part. That is why you fear death. You know that the body goes and you're afraid that when it goes you go to. What goes...is all your misconceptions.
