“The limit is not the sky. The limit is the mind.” ~ Wim Hof

 You are the trap. That means you have to break down your conditioning, yourself, the centre of the 'me' - which is the mainspring of the trap. It can be done without a single breath of effort. One who makes an effort to be free of the trap is further creating the trap. It breaks naturally without a single effort if you are aware of yourself as being the trap. Since you are the whole history of mankind, you are the embodiment of that trap. You cannot escape from yourself, you cannot run away; you have to see what you are. That is, you have to have self-knowledge, know about yourself - not about the higher self; there is no higher self - you have to know yourself, not through analysis but through watching, looking, observing.
