   Make straight your hooks

   Q: My thoughts will not let me.   
      
   M: Pay no attention. Don't fight them. Just do nothing   
   about them, let them be, whatever they are.  Your very   
   fighting them gives them life. Just disregard. Look   
   through. Remember to remember: 'whatever happens -- happens   
   because I am'. All reminds you that you are. Take full   
   advantage of the fact that to experience you must be. You   
   need not stop thinking. Just cease being interested. It   
   is disinterestedness that liberates. Don't hold on,   
   that is all. The world is made of rings. The hooks are   
   all yours. Make straight your hooks and nothing can hold   
   you. Give up your addictions. There is nothing else to   
   give up. Stop your routine of acquisitiveness, your habit   
   of looking for results and the freedom of the universe is   
   yours. Be effortless.
