Question 32
In a recent awakening experience, I had the utter realization that there was no "I" and that there was also no other. I saw that my personal identity was simply a set of ideas and beliefs. I also saw that there is no free will, other than the divine. There is no "I" to do anything, but in your books, you talk of free will and making choices. Can you please explain this apparent contradiction. I also saw that I could not choose that awakening experience, or do anything to get it, unless the divine wanted me too. As simply as my awakening came, it went! Now my ego is back feeling all the familiar fear, worry and concern. Please comment.

Question 33
In my experience the following passage from your book, Words from Silence is perfect...
"On the level of Being you are already complete and whole.
You don't have to grow into it or fix yourself up.
You just have to tune into it. You just have to wake up.
During my awakening experiences, I realized that emotional healing work had nothing to do with awakening. It neither helped or caused the event of awakening, and in fact the need for healing was nothing more than the ego's need for 'perfection' and was just another part of the ego's endless search for happiness, even though on a human level it helped ease pain.
In your books and web site, you speak about the need for the healing of the past. I can't understand what healing has to do with awakening? Can you please help me to understand?

Question 38
If all that exists is Oneness, and the individual separate entity is merely an illusion, then why would it be necessary for an illusion to "own" their feelings and what they've apparently "become"? How can an illusion take any responsibility? Isn't all that is, just Oneness expressing itself?
