Illusion of Ego

Thoughts, feelings and body sensations

triggered reactions within human systems

stimuli from 'outside' reflected within



Multiple sparks are openly received - selected:

equal energies are responding simultaneously

chain reactions embracing, trapping one's being



Energy traps, - accumulated individually

forming crystallised structures of 'personality'

gaining identification through reflected happenings



Being identified with reactions produces illusion of 'ego'

getting stuck in controlling, manipulating, clinging on -

separated, encapsulated, lost in one's tricky turns



Blowing up thoughts, feelings and sensations

giving too much importance to all those properties

looking for more security searching for confirmation



The urgend need to step out of all games of 'ego'

might cause serious questioning and observing

of whatever shows up in daily life, outside or inside



What could be the possible next question?

Who is asking? Who is the observer? Who am I?

Drop all questions, go on with your life. Being alive.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Only if there is a question - there can be an answer
Go on asking - express yourself - ask yourself
relate to whatever shows up - live - meditation helps

This is excellent! Every word shows thought and observation and experience of self. I'm really touched by this piece. I've thought on this topic myself but never came up with the right words. You beat me to it. Great! Someone had to say it and as I said this is excellent!
