The attachment to self keeps you wandering helplessly for possibly countless lifetimes. The attached concept has done this, the concept of self is not really self, nor is the mind, this self truly has nothing to do with you. It’s just an belief that keeps you attached to “a self” story. It’s always the story itself that keeps you attached and although it may seem as though what’s being used to create the story keeps you attached, it’s not. It can’t be, because there’s no substance to a story and this is because it’s of the mind and there’s nothing solid when it’s from the mind; it’s as fleeting as yesterday’s dream. If it’s about something that happened, that means you are bringing the past into the present and this creates a delusional mindset. If you’re bringing the future into the present, again you’re creating a delusional mindset by not being with what’s actually happening.
This is what happens when the belief of a self is attached to as the driving energy behind how you live. If everything done is derived from self life will be delusional because the self is delusional; self is a belief, it’s made up. It’s not that there isn’t existence, but unless you can truly see where this self is it has to cause problems if it’s attached to. What I mean by this is if you take the belief away of what you think your self is, nothing remains. You have attached a label (name) for identification purposes and all the other labels just fall in line, son, daughter, brother, sister, yada, yada, yada, and so on. Without an attached label there is no self. You do have a body, but you are not the body. Nothing is the whole of anything unless an attached label is applied and who does this labeling, the belief of an “I“ that only exist because of the delusional attachment to self…
