   (from the preface of Wei Wu Wei's "Open Secret")   
      
   As LONG AS subject is centred in a phenomenal object,   
   and thinks and speaks therefrom, subject is identified   
   with that object and is bound.   
      
   As long as such condition obtains, the identified subject   
   can never be free - for freedom is liberation from that   
   identification.   
      
   Abandonment of a phenomenal centre constitutes the only   
   'practice', and such abandonment is not an act volitionally   
   performed by the identified subject, but a non-action (wu   
   wei) leaving the noumenal centre in control of phenomenal   
   activity, and free from fictitious interference by an   
   imaginary 'self.   
      
   Are you still thinking, looking, living, as from an   
   imaginary phenomenal centre? As long as you do that you   
   can never recognise your freedom.   
      
   Could any statement be more classic?   
   Could any statement be more obvious?   
   Could any statement be more vital?   
   Yet - East and West - how many observe it?   
   So, could any statement be more needed?   
      
   Note: Wu wei merely implies absence of volitional   
   interference. Whom do I mean by 'you'? I mean ' I ' . I   
   am always I, whoever says it, man or monkey, noumenally   
   or phenomenally, identified or free - and there is no   
   such entity.   
      
   P.S.: If you have understood the above it is quite   
   unnecessary for you to read any more of this book.
