"Y'know, the Buddhists that you've gotta rid yourself of all these illusions including the ultimate one, which is this concept of self. D'you know how basic that is? All this pain is wrapped up in this concept is that this thing called "I" exists. And that the real key is in perceiving this quiet reality that's so much simpler than anything we can imagine? 'Course, y'know, my problem is, the moment I get a taste of this quiet reality, y'know, my ego gets all excited 'cause I think "I think I'm on to something big here! The next great understanding, John, wa-hey!" Before I know it, my thoughts are running a show again, and I'm back conceptualizing and... I've gotta learn how to stop meself earlier! Y'know, I've gotta learn how to control me thoughts!"
