"Escape your will."
This is a snippet of advice that results from my readings of Arthur Schopenhauer. It's a command you may use inspirationally, but it may have no meaning without background information and works of Schopenhauer. (Maybe try Wikipedia for a quickie)

"Everyone takes the limit of his own vision for the limits of the world."
"If in everyday life, you are asked about continued existence after death by one of those people who would like to know everything but refuse to learn anything, the most appropriate and approximately correct answer is: 'After your death you will be what you were before your birth.' For this answer implies that it is preposterous to demand that a species of existence which had a beginning should not have an end; in addition, however, it contains a hint that there may be two kinds of existence and, correspondingly, two kinds of nothingness."
