“I am the True Self. In other words, I am the one that truly transcends. The Non-Dual is still not truly transcendent because somehow it sees itself as better or greater than the dual, which is still very dualistic.” ~ Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel from Big Mind · Big Heart
That’s the Voice of the True Self. The way Genpo describes the “True Self” is remarkable and he’s got a *brilliant* discussion on not getting “stuck on absolute.”
As he says in the Voice of the True Self: “I embrace desires and seeking and fear and distinctions. I embrace them all but I am not bound by them, I’m not attached to them. I can have a desire, and drop the desire if it’s not fulfilled... I don’t get stuck anywhere.”
