Being free from concepts

Being free from concepts is like going backstage in a theater
and suddenly realizing how much of our engagement with the drama has come from mere appearances: the costumes,the makeup, the staging, the lighting, and actors projecting artificial personae. ...It is liberating to realize that we are, in effect,"making it all up."

We are playing on the stage set,lost in the costumes and the lighting. We are creating boundaries and divisions according to our histories, our fears, our needs, and our habits.

But what is the substance of these boundaries?

Where can they be found, in truth?
