Since we are all ONE, there is no self to realize, we came from nothingness and go back there. The false self world and its content - everything is illusion. If this is the case, why is this game of life-death-world-drama-separateness being played in the first place? what is the point?

Let go of all that you know once, and you will have confidence in your inner truth. Understanding is not conviction. So we need to sit zazen, letting go of all ideas, letting them dry up.
