It is very nice and convenient to think that who "I" perceive my"self" to be doesn't need to practice spiritually because according to the escapist mind it's either that I am THAT (because that's what they all keep saying in different ways) or there's nothing like THAT and all that there is is what I perceive from mere senses, right? And all "I" want to do is sound superior, like "I" have already "found" the "truth" and "I know better" (and it is untrue because there is no "I" to realise the truth in the way you think there is or isn't. All your ideas are just as baseless.) while nothing really shifts in us except us becoming more ignorant and of course what else could come out of ignorance if not more ignorance?
Well, congratulations that's what the egoic mind always wanted to do.. to be delusional through all its self-deceptions. Until one day you suddenly find the opposite to be the actual case (a.k.a. that you might actually need to practice sincerely instead of talking bullshit and bullshitting yourself.) usually in an undesirable way, but for the best.
Of course this is not for everyone but as with all things genuine, reactivity (aversion-resistance-denial a.k.a. clinging to the perceived sense of self/image) is thoroughly noticed/effortlessly absent in any genuine case. And we will know it only in the degree we fully face ourselves/are fully sincere with ourselves.
There's not really a need to be in a rush to drop anything. Things happen as needed if we stop identifying with all the fantastical ideas and get out of the way. There are no conflicts in reality. Us having to practice doesn't mean that we are not THAT, yet we have to sincerely do what we need to do in order to know it firsthand or to even talk about something as fundamentally important as THAT.
