Five questions
The book is a conversation in five movements, each a question. Each page here has passages from the book that answer it, a few exchanges from every chapter.
In music, a movement is a complete piece that belongs to a larger work. It has its own shape. It was never separate.
- I
Why Is There a Particular Me?
Your resistance is why you’re a you.
- II
What Moves Through Me?
Energy, flowing four ways at once, all of it running through you.
- III
Why Does Wanting Hurt?
The expansion is never negative. The negative is how the gap feels.
- IV
Why Can’t We Go Back?
You can cover a cut. You can’t uncut it.
- V
How Far Does This Go?
Being sure about the structure isn’t the same as knowing everything it touches.
