what do you mean when you say I? normally we would respond by saying a center of awareness or a feeling of empowerment/selfishness. but after answering that question, another question comes which is "who is the one aware of yourself?" fire cannot burn itself in the same way you cannot look into your own eyes without using a mirror. by being aware of this illusionary feeling of a self, there is a separation. and if you think about that long enough to realize that there is no self, who is it that knows there is no ego? we often hide behind the masks we create; the mask embedded into our skin. we try to find our real selves in our mask which only leads from one maze to another. lost between sanity and madness. what would it be like to remove the mask you don't remember putting on? what would it be like to know that you didn't have to hold onto yourself so tight? these are questions we avoid because we aren't sure just how deep the rabbit hole can go. but there's always a way out of an illusion. you might not be the you that you think you are.
