Ego and Spirit...

Two babies are in the utero confined

To the wall of their mother's womb,

And they are having a conversation.

Their names Ego and Spirit.
Spirit says to Ego, I know you are going

To find this difficult to accept,

But I truly believe there is life after birth.
Ego responds, Don't be ridiculous.

Look around you This is all there is.

Why must you always be thinking about something,

Beyond this reality?

Accept your lot in life.

Make yourself comfortable and forget

About all of this life-after-birth nonsense.
Spirit quiets down for a while then responds,

I also believe that there is a Mother.
A Mother! Ego exclaims.

How can you be so absurd?

You've never seen a Mother.

Why can't you accept that this is all there is?

The idea of a Mother is crazy.

You are here alone with me.

This is your reality, trust me there is no mother.
Spirit reluctantly stops her conversation with Ego,

But she soon implores,

Please listen without rejecting my idea.

Somehow I think that those constant

Pressures we both sometimes feel,

Those movements that make us so uncomfortable,

The continual repositioning,

These rapid changes and all that closing

In that seems to be taking place as we keep growing,

Is getting us ready for a place of glowing light,

A ND we will experience it very soon.
Ego' then replies, Now I know you are insane.

All you've ever known is darkness.

You've never seen light.

How can you even contemplate such an idea?
Those movements and pressures you feel are your reality.

You are a distinct separate being.

This is your journey.

Darkness and pressures and a

Closed-in feeling are what life is all
