Ideas Taken from “The Gospel According to Zen” Salvation vs.Satori
There is nothing to be liberated from, nothing to attain. There is only now and the rest is compulsion and duty – idolatry – the taking of most of your energy toward an object, including obtaining salvation, becomes idolatry.
You free yourself once you quit believing you need to be free. That is once you throw away the struggle of needing to be free, or attaining salvation, or any other thing in this world.
All this struggling is self inflicted torture including struggling to meet God who is here.
