Hay-Ku of the Day ("Self Is Parasitic")

"I as I think" is

Parasitic with respect

To "I as I Am." 

"I as I think" is

Parasitic with respect

To "Being Itself." 

***

The parasitic 

Nature of fear based thinking

Is a Trojan horse.

A carnal-minded

Relation to Being is

Really parasitic.

***

A devout faith in

One's "separate self-sense" is

Truly parasitic.

Infatuation

With "the me that says my " is

The real parasite. 

Emotionally

Charged, self-referential thought

Is parasitic.

***.

"The story of me" 

Feeds off the attention self-

Addiction bestows.

"Separate self-sense"

Feeds off the attention self-

Attachment creates. 

"The me that says my"

Feeds off the attention self-

Enthrallment allows.

***

Addiction to self-

Referential thinking is

Fed by attention.

Mind's addiction to

Self-referential thinking

Is attention fueled.

***

One who entertains 

A carnal state of mind is 

Sleeping with a snake.

“We never entertain the idea of being outside the realm of self-centeredness, because it’s taken root in us and we are identified with it. So all we can do is therapize and socialize it, so it doesn’t flip out at the next picnic. We just hunker down in the chronic effects of self-centeredness. Failing to see the self as the parasite it is..."  Paul Hedderman
