Consciousness resuming at a deeper level Forgotten realms remembered, false constructs revealed Unhindered reflexive intuition, abstract insights: revelations Scrape away the mundane dross Glimpsing higher insights Trusted self reflections - gnostic introspection Buried deep and hidden inside, we feel the truth but hear the lie The self deceit, our thoughts clouded by fear and doubt Lost in a world of confusion, disillusioned Deluded into disbelief of our own nature The voice inside is speaking but we're deaf to it Lying to ourselves, lie to each other Hiding from ourselves Hiding from the other, empathy is smothered Distrust one another War in our minds, wars in the world In this flesh prison Drive to supersede In endless ego As if every synapse struck out to rule, To be king.
