Pause the Thought Ego Begot

Each thought form admitted within,
desire of ego origin.

As such, we are the creator,
both the captive and the captor.

All manifestations but thought,
which desires of our heart begot.

As we think, so we are and be.
Reflect oh hermit! Where are we?

I love the complex contrasts here as in 'captive/captor' - very metaphysical and introspective - I'm especially intrigued by the hermit reference~
