Francis Lucille lays things out nicely:
http://francislucille.com/excerpt.html
Here is a paragraph from the linked page:
"Ask yourself who is hypnotized. Inquire deeply. Who is it? Where is it? You will find that it is not possible to find such an entity. If you explore your mind and your body, you will find a few concepts that you identify with like "I am a woman", "I am a human being", "I am a lawyer", etc.. You can also find certain sensations in your body, certain areas that are more opaque, more solid, that you identify with as well. But when you look more closely, it becomes obvious that you are not this sensation in your chest, nor this thought of being a woman, since feelings and thoughts come and go and what you really are is permanent. At this very moment, the hypnosis ends. The occurrence of these thoughts and feelings is less of a problem than your identification with them. As soon as you become aware of them, you distance yourself. You are free. In this freedom, you do not locate yourself anywhere. It is important to stay in this non-localization, as we have the tendency to hasten to take hold of a new identification as soon as we have let go of the previous one, like a monkey who doesn't let go of a branch before latching onto another." |

| Perhaps I shouldn't have put Francis Lucille in "Gurus, Sages and Higher Beings." Though I'm sure there are those who might consider him their Guru, it seems a bit lofty a title for a simple man like Lucille. Anyway, here is a newer video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRg2jHhLbXg |

| i think it is the perfect place for him. The discipline they follow doesn't elevate anyone, just like AYP, and "sage" is probably as close as you could get. |

Alright then, we'll leave him here on his lofty seat 
He deserves it!
Hey, what do you think Etherfish? I like what he says. |
