How strange the world is,
that it creates, maintains, evolves, and gives freely to,
that which disowns it by claiming to own it.
Every breath,
Every bite,
Every drink,
Every touch,
Every sight,
Every smell,
Every sound,
Every surge of ecstasy and tinge of pain,
Everything we experience comes from outside our thoughts.
Yet, the illusion of separation triumphs in the minds of Humanity.
I think,
I see,
I feel,
I know,
I believe,
I have,
I want,
I demand,
I desire,
All of these triumph in the killing of that which sustains all.
Blindly and with great smallness of vision,
seeing nothing of value beyond itself,
Ego runs rampantly alone, and in great fear.
Some think they are 'that which thinks',
Some think they are 'that which feels',
Some think they are 'this skin and bones',
Some think they are 'this life I live',
Some think they are 'this job I do',
Some think they are 'this money I have',
Some think they are 'this power I wield',
Some think they are 'this life I live',
Some think they are 'this religion I believe',
and saddest of all,
Some think they are 'this which dies'.
How small and narrow and enslaved,
when outside the conceptual bars, all are Universe. One Song.
Ego demands to be King.
Ego demands to be Eternal.
Ego demands to be All there is of value.
Universe demands that ego give up it's delusions of grandeur.
Universe is King.
Universe is Eternal.
Universe is All there is of value.
To fear the freedom of what we really are is to destroy what we can be.
When intuition flashes in the mind,
When compassion calls for action,
When beauty overwhelms sight,
When ecstasy wipes the mind,
The door is open... step through.
KNOW THYSELF
