Paroles
So in the same way, we find that the watching self, or the observing self, behind all our thoughts and feelings, is itself a thought That is to say, when the police enter a house in which there are thieves The thieves go up from the ground floor, the first floor When the police arrive on the first floor, the thieves have gone up to the second And so to the third, and finally, out to the roof And so when the еgo is about to be unmasked, it immediatеly identifies with the higher self It goes up a level Because the religious game is simply a refined and highbrow version of the ordinary game How can I outwit me? How can I one-up me? So, if I find, for example, that in the quest for pleasure The ordinary pleasures of the world, food, sex, power, food, sex, power All this becomes a drag, and I think, "No, it isn't there." So I go in for the arts, and literature, poetry, music, and I absorb myself in those pleasures Food, sex, power I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music Those pleasures Food, sex, power I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music Food, sex, power Literature, poetry, music Food, sex, power And after a while They aren't the answer So I go to psychoanalysis And then I found out that's not the answer I go to religion I'm still seeking what I was seeking when I wanted candy bars I wanna get that goody Only, I see now that, of course, not gonna be a material goody All material goodies fall apart, but maybe there's a spiritual goody that's not gonna fall apart But in that quest The quest is not different from the quest for the candy bar Same old story, only you've refined the candy bar, made it abstract and holy and blessed, and so on So it is with the higher self, the higher self's your old ego And you sure hope it is eternal
