Bondage?

Objectifying what I am as a subjective entity is making a "self" of what I am.

As soon as this concept becomes a reflex-action I am in bondage to that concept.

Liberation requires the abolition of that reflex-action, and the absence of the positive or negative objectification of what-I-am.

When what-I-am ceases to be a concept no bondage can remain--- for then there is no longer a conceptual entity to be bound or to be free.

Such is the meaning of "I AM THAT I AM."
