Beyond the Ego


So many these years are trying to
Get
Beyond the ego
And yet the ego
Remains
Remains

I "know" we dont need to
Use the word "ego"
Or the word "id"
Or the word "libido"
Or even the word "subconscious"
And i "know" one could say
i stink  therefore  i am

I "know" the "ego" has dangerous side effects
Inside effects
But i do not see where there is a way to
Escape to a oneness or an
Eternal nothingness
Imbued with wonder  beauty  love
Imbued with an exquisite emptiness
Obliterating "i"

For so long as I
Am able to sense
I am an "I"
A spirited body
An embodied spirit
Such sensing will of necessity
Correlate  integrate  propagate
Each of my continuances
Each of those  whatevers which  individuate me

Were disease or accident to rob me of my
Abilities   to individuate  to discern  to will
Would I then be in a holier condition  though less whole?
