When one reduces and eventually eradicates this false identification with worldly phenomena, including the inner phenomena of thoughts and images, what is discerned is what was and is always already the case. The instruction of Wu Hsin to disciple Xu Fengqin directly calls for a dissociation of one's sense of identity from the panoply of spatiotemporal objects and events that rise and subside in the world that presents itself. In so doing, the I-me-mine complex dissolves and that which is antecedent to all becomes clear.
