Post Game: Perplexed?

Patrick:
The thesis: The motive behind is always Love.
The experiment: To live as if this were true ( this part of the experiment is still under development,but letting go of who I think I am is central to the methodology).

Sarano:
I must concur that letting go of who I think I am is central to understanding that “the motive behind is love”. For example, I do not love the cancer in Jon’s body, I do not love my “inauthenticity”, I do not love those parts of myself that I deem “shameful”. My love is neither
objective nor encompassing, my love is specific and subjective…at the core of my subjectivity is the simple fact that I somehow believe that I know “what is really best” for everyone, that things are good only if they go the way “I think they should”. It is this notion of myself that
extends itself into “knowing” what is best for others, then the world and ultimately leaves me “questioning” the master plan rather than feeling the motive behind it…the ever present love underneath it all. Is it wrong for cancer to love itself and hence to replicate itself, do not all things seek to grow, is it wrong for me to be “ashamed” of myself, is not my shame a desire to “do good”. How do I unravel this knot at the source, how do I let go of who I am without coming from a lack of love for who I am? Perplexed?
