still the thought comes up, I'm going to go and get a cup of tea, or<br />

I'm going to go and take a swim, or I'm going to go and have a<br />

bath, or whatever the thought is that comes up, or the urge that<br />

comes up. But the difference is Now is that I don't believe it's my<br />

free will, I don't believe I am creating this free will, it's just<br />

something that's arising, the appearance of free will, the<br />

appearance of choice. And it appears that way, but it never is<br />

somebody's choice, it never is somebody's free will. It's an arising<br />

in this beautiful dance, which gives the impression that there's<br />

two, but there's never two.<br />

WIZARD: So this will then doesn't suffer the dilemma of apparent<br />

choice, it just is this.<br />

LISA CAIRNS: Yes. And there's no attachment to the outcome<br />

because you don't see that choice as who you are. In the past you<br />

think I am choosing apple juice, therefore it's my choice and I<br />

suffer the consequences if it's not a good apple juice or if I don't<br />

enjoy it. <strong>The</strong>re's nobody there claiming that action, it's so<br />

impersonal.<br />

Go back to the murderer subject, because really I enjoy this<br />

subject, to go back to the impersonality of the murderer. Because<br />

when it begins to be seen that you're not the doer, that you then or<br />

that you're not a separate entity, it's then seen that the other isn't.<br />

So first of all it has to always be seen here in this body, mind,<br />

mechanism, before the others will be seen. So if you see yourself<br />

as a separate entity doing and creating life, you'll see the other<br />

doing and creating life. And one thing that happened here <strong>with</strong><br />

the whole murderer thing was that I began to have a series of<br />

dreams, and this is just going into the story, this doesn't have to be<br />

the way for everyone. But I often say that what happens is that<br />

you learn all this stuff intellectually, and then it normally<br />

manifests experientially in your life. So you learn that you're not<br />

the doer, or there is no self, and then you begin to see that<br />

experientially, like you begin to see that happiness isn't in the flow<br />

of life, it doesn't always have to be the case, but this is what<br />

happened here. And I began to dream at night, very real dreams,<br />
