The “me” longs to escape itself, unaware that the very urge to flee is part of the illusion. Every imagined path away from selfhood circles back to where it began. It cannot step outside itself to make an exit, for even that attempt would still be “me” doing it. Yet the disappearance of the self involves no effort, decision, or understanding. The illusory “me” can vanish instantly, without cause or circumstance, leaving not a single trace behind. What remains is simply this, as it's always been—empty, seamless, and free of anyone at all.
