Virus Ego On The Wall.




Virus Ego On The Wall.

Skull With Horns And PentagramIs our consciousnChinese Gods of Happiness Office and Longevityess, squeezed and  trapped in a tiny room, looking  through the keyhole of the door and therefore,perceiving a distorted version of what is called ' reality' ?

Are we living in the shade, in the shadow of another 'reality'? The same way a hand in front of a wall in flickering  candlelight produces the shadow of the hand on the wall, and we are living in that shadow, not being the  hand? .

Black Death's Head With Horns...Is this distortion, this shadow life we live, caused by our view of life which is not the correct view.Like a man with an illness and a high fever will halucinate and believe things are real when they are not ?
Is this because of our ego ? Is the ego a  mind virus that the entire race has caught and it passes down from generation to generation, so we live our lives in that hand shadow, in our virus ego on the wall.

Did this ego-virus really ruin it for us, and I was wrong in another post to suggest that the ego was needed, but now it is not? Perhaps we never needed it, ever.Maybe it sounds far-fetched to wonder if   beings from another dimension infected us with this crippling mental illness that is oh so hard to eradicate.Then again, maybe not.

We are part of nature, we know that, but yet we no longer seem to connect with it in the way, deep down, we feel we should.Animals don't have egos as we know the ego. They have character traits, but not a full-blown inflated ruling ego that dominates their entire lives, like our egos do ours.Most animals ( not the domestic ones who 'pick up' our neurotic way of living, and because they are not living natural lives, can be odd ) seem content, even though they live in the wild and it's a question of day to day survival They accept their lot; we don't.They have never caught our virus. It can't pass from human to animal.

This virus has made us so out of balance with life, it even makes us kill millions, in war, of our own kind. Can anything be madder ?No other species is so anti- life, anti the primal urge of life, which is for the species to survive.In the last hundred years we have reached a zenith in this The number of deaths alone, which are still going on , as I write, in these wretched , pointless wars should make anyone with a hint of .sanity left somewhere in his soul, realise that we must be, at the least , a very disturbed species, and that there is something very wrong with us.

All the great teachers of mankind said the same thing, and that is it is our ego that prevents us from being who we really are.

It is the ego that gives us this distorted 'reality', the living in the shadow on the wall, the out of balance we all feel. An illness of the mind that makes us almost lunatics.

Like a crisis point in a physical  sickness, we have now reached the critical stage of our illness.We will now either recover and be well, be in balance, be whole, or we will succumb and die.

It is high time for us to stop living this half crazy life and to come out of the shadow of the hand , of the virus ego on the wall and into the light that shines on all of us.
