THE IMPERSONAL SELF
Keys To Effective Spiritual Treatment

Now realize that anything at all good or bad about your collective sense of the body is no different from your experiencing any collective idea or rumor that is flying around. It is no different; it is impersonal and has nothing to do with you.
    It's like going to a movie and being aware that everything happening throughout that movie has nothing to do with us. We're experiencing it, yes, but we don't own it, and because we don’t own it, we are forever free of it. Yes, we experience the good and the bad of it, but because we know we do not own it, it cannot own us. Neither the good nor the bad can affect us because we do not take ownership of it.
  This non-attachment or non- ownership of experience is very important because many students believe they are doing something wrong when they experience illness, disease or injury. They ask me what they’re doing wrong.
