Hay-Ku of the Day (Self-Conditioned)

Personal Artifacts © 2005 RFHay: Artifacts and books full of pronouns (re: “me, myself, I, you, they, them, he, she and it”) that constantly reinforce the idea "I am a separate person"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

I am conditioned
To think "I am a person"
Instead of Being.

I am conditioned
to think of myself as a
"Separate person."

[Rich Note: The following related (and as I like to call them “naturally occurring”) haiku appears on page 37 of “Love’s Quite Revolution, The End of the Spiritual Search," by Scott Kiloby:

“The simple truth is
That there is no separate
You outside of thought.”]
