Oh Thinking Mind, Oh Thinking Mind,
Throughout my lives, I thought you were me as that was what I was told since beginningless time. Would I be nobody without you as it would feel like losing myself? You had been everything to me - my identity, my existence, my survival. You were never tired of being the superior, and perhaps that is how you got the nickname ego. You were always hungry for content, so I fed you with incessant thoughts. Through my filtered lens, I gave all these thoughts my interpretation, my judgement, my labelling. I even coloured them with my feelings, making every image and picture appearing so real and solid. I went on to fabricate my perception of reality with all these illusory pictures and images.
The trouble began when I could not realise that my perception is never identical to the person next to me. But the trouble also ended upon my realization that all my perception is nothing but part of a waking dream. A dream that will always remain a dream in my current form. Now that I know that my true essence is my conscious being and has never been you, it is all over and we can restart the game. Please, forgo the illusion that you are the master and let us rebuild our relationship on a new premise, from which freedom will be bred and happiness restored - a long forgotten story.
Much love,
"I Am"
