Uhh... what a paradox :p

We ask people to deny or see that no one does. We don't want them to deny a self in a way that depresses them (that fake self) but in a way that shatters illusion and has them realize true being oneness.
Yes, so true. It is important for us to have good self-esteem and self-worth...and also to see through self-delusion. Love the paradox of living and yet no one is there...
