The Annihilation of Self

The annihilation of self

is only

an intellectual process

insofar as that self can be carried

by a consciousness.

But,

a consciousness has limits,

and once we understand

that as long as we carry

a self

around

in our pocket,

it will never expand,

or develop,

or charge that cosmic gap

where our true nature is revealed

and our consciousness remembers

its place amongst

all of life.

Once fully awakened,

the self  becomes universal,

and once again contributes

to the evolutionary force

which motivated a self

to become one
with Truth.
