  • Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action inthe present?
  • Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self-knowledge?
  • Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your stateof being and thereby gain authority for themselves?
