The idea here (that one gradually slips into with meditation or other mystical systems) is that there is no &quot;You&quot;. Happy, sad, You, other people, all these &quot;things&quot; don&#x27;t really exist, they&#x27;re all illusions, mind constructs, artificial.<p>Once you see the world for what it really is (a dream), all the masks fall away and you&#x27;re free to go on with your &quot;life&quot; unencumbered by artificial thought creations that another artificial thought creation (&quot;You&quot;) thought were real.
