It’s like my conscious sat back and watched
I didn’t even know it was there
Despite the the fact it’s my immortal self
My desires made me hurt others
Physically, mentally and emotionally
When I finally learned to be still
I identified what had always been there
Like a precious jewel between my eyes
I found a place of refuge
Where we could observe my idiocy
When I could objectively see myself
It changed me
When I realised that everything was one
It changed me
I stopped hurting others and myself
I discovered empathy
Stopped supporting hurting and killing by proxy
Stopped supporting war
Stopped eating animals
Stopped indoctrinated tribalism and nationalism
Realised that it’s not just what you do
But also what you don’t do that’s important
Our locus of power is internal
We have to filter all input from others
Then we discover who we really are
Our views correct themselves
And cause as least harm as possible
And support what is positive around us.
