More From R. D. Laing

Either christianity is true or it's false. if you bet that it's true, and you believe in god and submit to him, then if it is true, you've gained god, heaven, and everything else. if it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. if you bet that christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. but if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.
Self Mind Enlightenment
We have hitherto considered only two possibilities: that the received opinion may be false, and some other opinion, consequently, true; or that, the received opinion being true, a conflict with the opposite error is essential to a clear apprehension and deep feeling of its truth. but there is a commoner case than either of these; when the conflicting doctrines, instead of being one true and the other false, share the truth between them.
