For the "me," this message offers no comfort, no path, and no possibility of liberation. It unsettles the very foundation upon which the "me" imagines its existence. To the illusory self, this feels like bad news—an undoing of its hopes, dreams, and the imagined journey toward freedom. Yet the good news is the "me" is nothing more than an illusion. Without it, the striving and the seeking simply fall away. Liberation isn't the fulfillment of the "me's" hopes, but the end of the one that could hope at all. What’s left is neither good nor bad—just this as it already is, without the need of a self to attain it.
