The ego wants power and acceptance, Achieved through its control and dominance, Addicted to its worthless self, It constantly needs to justify, Its own significance and relevance. A disconnected and unidentified parasite, Infecting its host from death to rebirth, Left unchecked for centuries, Since the dawn of our existence, Roaming and contaminating our earth. Machiavellian and devious in its nature, It schemes, deceives, hides in plain sight, Pulling the invisible puppet strings, Of what you think is your reality, Whilst filling you with its anger and spite. So it intimidates and bullies the minority, Threatens, governs and rules the rest, Until its conceited superiority, Is honoured by its unconscious slaves, As it stands tall and puffs out its chest. ~ It begins as your singular sense of pride, And assumed self centred personality, Which is nurtured and suckled, Into your psyche and being, By an unconscious, conditioned majority. Morphing you into its multiple identities, Cloaking you in its layers of fabricated lies, Until you are so brainwashed, You’ve forgotten who you are, And can no longer see through your own eyes. Embedded in the fabric of your being, This imposter continues its stealth invasion, Annihilating any possibility, Or opportunity the real you may have, For any respite, escape or evasion. Now trapped in its sycophantic world, Rife with its narcissism and pompous vanity, It leaves you lost and bewildered, Lonely and disconnected, And divorced from your true self and sanity. ~ For now, you feel you need to compete, And compare and judge and attain, Because your every thought and action, Is driven by the egocentric processes, Now deeply hard wired into your brain. Recognition, acceptance, validation and winning, Become your criterion for success, But at what cost you ask yourself, As your time flies past you, And your life permeates with judgement and stress. You’ve become a numb, unconscious junkie, Addicted to meaningless dependencies, Your subconscious thoughts and actions, Laced with selfishness and greed. Are dictated by your egotistical tendencies. Your ignorance and arrogance become, The crutches for your insecurities and fear, And overflowing resentment, Floods throughout your spirit, As you witness the last part of you disappear. ~ But somewhere inside you is the spark of your soul, Which if you’re ready, will awaken from within, A tinder of hope and light, Almost suppressed, but not defeated, From which your transformation will begin. It’s been waiting for this one moment in time, Since your conception and the day you were born, To remind you of the truth, That you are both one and the same, And you no longer have to comply or conform. If you awaken and reconnect with this true essence, Of your conscious awareness and being, You will begin the process, Of unshackling yourself from your ego, To finally open your eyes and start seeing. As you reverse decades of deception, You experience an overwhelming sense of release, As your true entity opens its arms, To welcome you back to your life, Abundant with love, harmony and peace. ~ Everything you believed your ego needed to survive, Begins to break down, dissipate and dissolve, Your metamorphosis has begun, Your soul is reborn, And is ready to explore and evolve. As you feel your raw and new vulnerability, Challenge every belief you have held so dear, Your inherent soul intelligence, Guides you with wisdom and faith, To stand up to the ridicule, hatred and fear. No longer are you separate or lonely, Filled with self-centred judgement and conflict, Nor wanting external validation, Or needing to be noticed and accepted, By those still unwittingly following the script. You’re now reunited with the one part of you, That exists in every living thing, You feel connected and united, Excited and elated, With infinite energy, positivity and zing. ~ Now selfless, formless, and nameless, Bursting with an abundance of love and compassion, You have a new found understanding, Of your purpose and place, In this world and your important contribution. Purely altruistic in your nature to do good, And be a force for helping those in need, No longer are you that person, Who only takes for themselves, Driven by insecurity, dependency and greed. Your free spirited soul sings to the universe, Attuned with the sun, the moon and the stars, The shackles and bondage of ego, Which imprisoned you for so long, Are now just distant memories and scars. Butterflies are allured to your joyful, playful essence, As you continue your soul revolution, And just like that, Effortless, with conscious clarity, You achieve your ego dissolution... ~
