SHACK 3033 THE THRUST OF EGO

Cancel Culture

The ego frantically tries different fantasies and scenarios like an actor in many parts hoping to finally find a role that is totally satisfying and a seemingly real reality that is solid and reliable. 

Between fantasies, explorations, trials and errors it forgets or conveniently forgets or is in denial that the 'space' before diving to escape the seemingly and surmised emptiness, a running away from presumed boredom and annihilation is the very Self it is seeking and not recognising it as such.   

How can emptiness be the Self it screams and is bewildered?; it is the misperception of emptiness, the world of ego is constant doing and being occupied, the more clutter be it diamonds, empires, celebrity status, the more clutter and hoarding be it academic or material possessions, the more power and authority an authority that rusts and decays with time, the material rust and decays, the psychological with senility or constantly chasing innovations or upgrades and updates and age denying the energy as will death.

The thrust, the push the energy of chasing like Don Quixote tilting or chasing windmills can lead one to an awakening or depression and suicide or just getting into some distraction which can lead to addiction, obsession and waiting to die or looking desperately for some way or anyway out.

OR finally surrendering to that which is not there but is ever present.
