Sal invites us onto holiday to look at where we’re located. Without the rising I — the separating, dividing factor — pure being doesn’t end at the skin but permeates the trees, mountains and sky as infinitely vast being with no center.

Sal strips away every attribute of self — name, form, nationality, past and future — to ask what remains in the absence of the rising I. His answer: “true silence is the absence of the rising I,” not the absence of noise or sound.

Sal addresses whether effort is needed to be on Holiday, your own essential being. Since a Holiday is simply what you already are, no effort is required — the sense that you must try is only the rising I. It’s “just falling in love with being.”

Draws on Krishnamurti’s “freedom from the known” to show that the ego survives by needing the security of the known. Admitting you don’t actually know why anything is dissolves both the need and the phantom I who needs it.

… frames pure being as the Source “hiding in open view” — always the most obvious thing whenever you look. The Prodigal Son who must journey home is just the phantom I; seeking is ended, not satisfied.

… builds on the phantom I, showing thoughts only ever refer to the body while pure being momentarily mistakes itself for them — a “case of mistaken identity.” A holiday returns you to the root, prior to the rising I.
