No Trace Of Enlightenment

To study the Way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.
To be enlightened by all things is to remove the
barriers between
one's self and others.
Then there is no trace of enlightenment, though
enlightenment itself
continues into one's daily life endlessly.

AHO!!

Spiritual freedom is my birthright.
I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental
prejudices and stereotypes of others.
I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate
me or deceive me.
I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.
Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual
freedom.
