What is the self:

The self exists when the control of the body’s actions is witnessed by the controller as they occur.

Bad things happen during the absence of the self:

In the absence of the self, the body’s actions are guided by feelings. Actions guided by feelings are worse at achieving that which is good compared to actions guided by items of doing. This is due to items of doing accounting for the information in memory. Without items of doing, the self has nothing to do, so it dies, and the body’s operation is sustained by an automated operator. As this operator exists all the information in memory is absent in its awareness, causing it to neglect things that are known to be important. This neglect of important things combined with the destructive behaviour that comes from its destructive emotions, causes it to be worse at achieving that which is good.

The solution to the problem:

In your awareness, you must sustain blin, the absence of self, items of doing.

This sustains your awareness of the problem, and the solution.

The power gained by having the problem and the solution in your awareness may be lost if the foundation of understanding is not memorised.
