From darkness to light

containerised in form enslaved by senses bemused by ego we are bound adding to our woes organic form decays destiny seems random flow of linear time taunts vastness of space mocks we are a speck of dust wishing to be more not knowing how as for pride in our mind we know not who we are we clutch at wisps of straw haunted by fears and desires yet in the scriptures it is written that we are children of God a soul which is eternal love, light and bliss why then languish wallowing in shallows leap in the void to reclaim the living light of our true Self

yes it is as you say, Silent One. yet releasing ego is not so easy since we live in this body day and night, dependent upon senses and mind. instrumentalising ego is a slow process, requiring silence to be our default orientation.
