- In Eastern psychology, your self-narratives are seen as dreams you must wake from.
- Your self-narratives, also known as self-talk, erase your actual life in favor of fiction.
- Self-narratives are about narrative identities, as if you were composed of and existed only as stories, like fictional characters.
- Stop taking self-narratives, also known as personal narratives, seriously about you based on your being mental objects that no one is or can be.

Nothing Makes You Anything: 04-28-2026
- Everything is happening in you, nothing as you.
- Everything is happening in you, nothing about you as a host except for God.
- Nothing has the necessary magical power to make you any mental objects.
- No experience has the necessary magic or power to make you any self-constructions, you foolishly choose to identity with them.
- Your logic might be that “if x happens, it will make me y.” However, that logic is based on manipulating your imagination rather than reality.
- Nothing is making you, your life, or your body into mental objects, despite many things tempting you to identify with and focus on the false importance of all forms of mental objects.

Your Self Is Not Lost: 04-25-2026
- There is never a loss of the self.
- There exist many losses of fake selves.
- You lose self-constructions for different ones, but none is the self.

Education Not Always Educational: 04-24-2026
- Education that focuses on knowledge produces uneducated people.
- Education that focuses on experience produces competent and sometimes skilled workers.
- Education that focuses on both theory and practice produces educated and sometimes wise people.
- Generally, the more educated you become, the less educated you are because the less you rely on experience and the more you rely on verbal knowledge.
- Generally, the more educated you become, the more you live in verbal worlds and ignore physical words. Such education often leads to the promotion of policies, political programs, and virtuous-sounding causes that do more harm than good because there is no concern for measuring historical, current, and long-term results.
