we made a note of this

impacted by a verbal assault although we rebounded soon the incident made us reflect on cause why we did so swoon stuporous is our awareness driven mostly by instinct we react as of our ego nature our heart with God not linked until our response is gentled in an unbroken continuum we remain to our ego captive which contains feral residuum

Your poem warns against remaining captive to the ego, which harbours unresolved emotional residue ("feral residuum"). It calls for a transcendence of primal instincts and ego-driven reactions, advocating for a more enlightened and spiritually attuned way of being.. nicely done..

Thank you, Silent One. In certain schools of spiritualism, it is hinted that our awareness should be seamless through waking, dreaming and deep sleep states, before we can claim that we are indeed awake.

Easier said than done, my friend. Ascent is a slow grind, day by day, breath by breath.

being 'reactive' and driven by instinct holds one captive to one's ego...it's a cyclical thing.

True but we keep mindfully watching attention oscillation and refining our response, thus remaining more aware, letting not awareness drop
