Why pretend to be what I am not and refuse to be what I am?
Because I am not
What I was conditioned to
Think when I got here.
Because I am not
What society programmed me
To think as a child.
Because I think I
Am not and have forgotten
What I Am in Truth.

OOMM Oldies:
A fatal case of
Mistaken identity
This being human.
A case of Divine
Amnesia caused by a false
Premise of Being.
Whole of which I am part is
The object of life.
Conscious intent and
Expectation blinds us to
The Fullness of Life.
Life is a cosmic game
Of divine hide and seek in
Which we are all it!
Life is a Divine
Game of hide and seek in which
Everyone is It.
The Object of Life
Is to find out who I Am
Before time runs out.

"Stop pretending to
Be what you are not and you
Will be what you are
Inspired by Sri Nisargadatta's:
"Don't pretend to be what you are not, don't refuse to be what you are."
(From I AM THAT - http://advaita.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1-I-Am-That-Nisargadatta-Maharaj-Resumo.pdf )
“One day a six-year-old friend said to me, ‘Pretend you are surrounded by a thousand hungry tigers. What would you do?’ I visualized the situation as he had suggested and, coming up with no viable plan of action, said, ‘Wow, I don’t know. What would you do?’ And he replied, ‘I’d stop pretending.'”
