We do things in the Dream so we don't necessarily have to do them here.
I am inclined, however, to think that this particular one
is a last ditch effort of a diminishing belief-system to regain control.
Everybody talks about ego...
and I usually just let it go
because no one had the teachers I went out to find, you know?
But I was taught -
'ego' was originally designed...
to protect the physical body
so we wouldn't walk off a cliff,
while 'blissing out' with nature.
It took over
and now runs the show.
Was never designed to do that.
So I think it's a lot
of the 'backstory' behind the whole psycho computer in 2001.
(meaning "2001-A space odyssey" the old movie)
So when 'we' take back over the driver's seat...
of the personallity, I mean -
the 'ego' goes wacko -
because is 'senses ' the self is in danger.
so it's more likely this is one attempt
to go back to the other - now flawed- way of thinking.
anyhoo -
that and a couple of bucks ... will get you a cup of coffee.
